Astros' Braden Shewmake: Seeing time at shortstop vs. RHPs
Shewmake will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Mariners, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
For the Astros' third consecutive matchup versus a right-handed starter, the left-handed-hitting Shewmake has received the nod over the right-handed-hitting Nick Allen at shortstop. Assuming the Astros continue to take a platoon approach to shortstop, Shewmake will likely see the bulk of the starts at the position in the short term, but Jeremy Pena (hamstring) is set to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday or Wednesday and could settle back atop the depth chart by the weekend.

Astros' Braden Shewmake: Capitalizes on start with homer
Shewmake went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a 2-1 win over the Dodgers on Tuesday.
Shewmake hasn't gotten many opportunities since he was called up April 20, and this was his first start in the Astros' past six contests. He made the most of it by logging half of Houston's four total hits, including a solo homer in the third inning, which proved to be the winning run. Shewmake has been effective when given a chance with a .308/.308/.769 slash line, two home runs and two RBI over 14 plate appearances. He could be in for more playing time moving forward as a result of Carlos Correa injuring his left ankle Tuesday and looking at an extended absence.

Astros' Braden Shewmake: Homers in Astros debut
Shewmake went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 12-4 loss to the Yankees.
Shewmake's first at-bat with Houston came as a pinch hitter for Carlos Correa in the seventh inning, with the Astros in a 12-3 hole. The 28-year-old infielder responded with his second career MLB homer, a 403-foot blast off Fernando Cruz. Shewmake spent the entire 2024 and 2025 seasons in the Yankees' system -- he slashed .243/.317/.361 with four homers and 15 steals in 85 games last year with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Shewmake figures to remain with the Astros as a bench option until Jeremy Pena (hamstring) and/or Nick Allen (back) return from the IL.

Astros' Braden Shewmake: Called up to majors
The Astros selected Shewmake's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday.
Just one day after acquiring Shewmake in a trade with the Yankees, the Astros will elevate the 28-year-old to the big-league roster to provide added depth in the infield while Jeremy Pena (hamstring) and Nick Allen (back) are on the shelf. Shewmake last saw big-league action in 2024 with the White Sox, appearing in 29 games while batting just .125/.134/.203 with one home run and five stolen bases over 67 plate appearances.

Astros' Braden Shewmake: Dealt to Houston
The Astros acquired Shewmake from the Yankees on Sunday in exchange for right-hander Wilmy Sanchez.
The 28-year-old infielder has previously seen big-league action with Atlanta in 2023 and the White Sox in 2024 and spent all of last season on the Yankees' 40-man roster before being outrighted in February. Shewmake had remained in New York's organization to start the season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, slashing .250/.314/.313 with no home runs and one stolen base over 36 plate appearances. He'll likely head to Triple-A Sugar Land with his new organization.

The Yankees designated Shewmake for assignment Thursday.

Shewmake will open the season at Triple-A after going 1-for-12 with three strikeouts and a run scored over six games during spring training.

Yankees' Braden Shewmake: Lands in New York via waivers
The Yankees claimed Shewmake off waivers from the Royals on Wednesday.
Shewmake has now gone from the White Sox to the Royals and now to the Yankees via waivers since early January.

The Royals designated Shewmake for assignment Friday.
The Royals made the signing of Carlos Estevez official Friday, leaving no room on the 40-man roster for Shewmake. The 27-year-old infielder will now enter the waiver process for the second time in the last 30 days, and his reputation as a strong defender could get him picked up by another club.

Royals' Braden Shewmake: Claimed by Kansas City
The Royals claimed Shewmake off waivers from the White Sox on Wednesday.
Shewmake had been booted from Chicago's 40-man roster but will now join Kansas City's 40-man and remain in the American League Central. The infielder is just 8-for-64 at the plate during his brief time at the major-league level but has a reputation as a solid defender. Shewmake has minor-league options remaining and will likely begin the 2025 season at Triple-A Omaha.

White Sox's Braden Shewmake: Removed from 40-man roster
The White Sox designated Shewmake for assignment Wednesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Tyler Gilbert, who was acquired via trade. Shewmake is just 8-for-64 at the plate during his brief time at the major-league level. The 27-year-old can play a capable shortstop and has minor-league options remaining, so it's possible he'll draw interest via trade or waivers.

White Sox's Braden Shewmake: Shut down at Triple-A
Triple-A Charlotte placed Shewmake on its 7-day injured list Sunday due to an unspecified injury.

However, he went just 4-for-33 (.121 average) at the dish over nine games with Charlotte before suffering an apparent injury Saturday and landing on the IL a day later.

White Sox's Braden Shewmake: Gets fourth straight start
Shewmake will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Shewmake will start in his fourth straight game, with two coming at second base and two at third base. He doesn't seem to be making much of a case to move into a full-time role at any position, however, as he went 0-for-9 over his previous three starts to drop his season-long slash line down to .140/.154/.240 over his 52 plate appearances.

He also ended a four-game hitless streak with a bunt single in the fifth inning before stealing a pair of bases -- including home.

White Sox's Braden Shewmake: Retreats to bench
Shewmake is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Minnesota.
Shewmake started on the left side of the infield in five of the previous six games, but he went just 1-for-15 at the plate to bring his season average down to .143. Though he's still regarded as one of the organization's better prospects, Shewmake will likely need to have a sustained run of success as a hitter before he shifts out of utility role and takes hold of a regular job at third base or shortstop.

White Sox's Braden Shewmake: Losing work to DeJong
Shewmake will start at third base and bat seventh in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Royals.
Shewmake will crack the lineup for the front end of the twin bill, but he seems to have moved into more of a utility infield role after he initially looked on track to unseat Paul DeJong as the team's primary shortstop. DeJong will cover shortstop for the fourth time in five games in Wednesday's opening contest.
