Chicago Cubs call up No. 2 prospect due to injury to Matt Shaw
The Chicago Cubs’ injury list continues to grow. Infielder/outfielder Matt Shaw is the latest to land on the injured list with mid-back tightness.
According to ESPN’s Jesse Rogers, the Cubs are calling up their No. 2 prospect in the system, infielder Pedro Ramirez. Ramirez has been playing in Triple-A Iowa this season and has performed well enough to receive a call-up. In 43 games in Iowa, Ramirez was hitting .312 with a .942 OPS and nine home runs,
Signed to a minor league contract in 2021, Ramirez showcased his skills in spring training to deserve a call-up out of the gates. In 15 games during spring training, the 22-year-old hit .367 with a 1.065 OPS and two home runs.

Ramirez’s stint with the Cubs won’t likely be long unless he absolutely goes off at the plate. Once Shaw returns, Ramirez will likely find his way back down to Iowa until another injury happens or until September.
The Chicago Cubs will need Pedro Ramirez and others to step up in Matt Shaw’s absence
After putting together a solid April, where he hit .323 with a .938 OPS, Shaw has cooled off in May, hitting .045 with a .170 OPS. The Cubs have used Shaw as their Swiss Army Knife this season, with the 24-year-old playing six out of the nine positions in the field as well as designated hitter (nine games).
The position that Shaw has played the most this season is right field, making 12 starts (14 games), with the bulk of his playing time coming when Seiya Suzuki was on the injured list. With Shaw down, the Cubs are down their best utility player and don’t have another player on the roster who can move around the diamond like Shaw did.
Ramirez is a primary infielder, playing mostly third base (25 games) and second base (15 games) this season, with one game played in left field.
