Astros' Braden Shewmake: Re-signs with Houston
The Astros re-signed Shewmake to a minor-league deal and assigned him to Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
After spending over three months with Houston to start the season before being traded to Milwaukee, Shewmake is back with the Astros. Between Houston and Milwaukee this season, the 28-year-old has slashed .259/.270/.424 with three home runs in 91 plate appearances.

Braden Shewmake: Hits open market
Shewmake rejected an outright assignment to Triple-A Nashville and elected free agency Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The utility infielder was designated for assignment by the Brewers last week and had the ability to reject an outright assignment since he's been DFA'd before. Shewmake has played in 34 games between Houston and Milwaukee this season and has generated a .259/.270/.424 slash line with four home runs in 91 plate appearances.

Brewers' Braden Shewmake: Sent outright to Triple-A
The Brewers outrighted Shewmake to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Since he's been outrighted previously, Shewmake has the ability to elect free agency. If he accepts the outright assignment, he will report to Nashville as infield depth. Shewmake is a career .196/.206/.320 hitter over parts of three major-league seasons.

Brewers' Braden Shewmake: DFA'd by Milwaukee
The Brewers designated Shewmake for assignment Friday, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.
Shewmake's stint with the Brewers ends after less than two weeks with the big-league club. The 28-year-old infielder appeared in four games, going 2-for-7 with a double, one RBI, two runs scored and three strikeouts. Milwaukee reinstated David Hamilton from the 10-day injured list to take Shewmake's spot on the active roster.

Brewers' Braden Shewmake: Lands in Milwaukee
The Brewers acquired Shewmake from the Astros on Sunday in exchange for cash.
After Houston designated Shewmake for assignment Friday, the Brewers acted quickly to execute a trade for the utility infielder rather than allowing him to reach waivers first. Milwaukee designated Greg Jones for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster for Shewmake, who produced a .256/.272/.423 slash line with three home runs and nine RBI across 83 plate appearances with Houston this season. Though Shewmake projects to serve as a backup at three different infield spots, the Brewers will include him in the lineup for Sunday's series finale in Pittsburgh. He'll start at third base and bat ninth while Cooper Pratt receives a breather.

Astros' Braden Shewmake: Cast off 40-man roster
The Astros designated Shewmake for assignment Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
With Jeremy Pena (calf) returning from the injured list Friday, Shewmake became a roster casualty. The 28-year-old slashed .256/.272/.423 with three home runs, nine RBI, 10 runs scored across 83 plate appearances with Houston this season.

Astros' Braden Shewmake: Taking seat against southpaw
Shewmake is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Shewmake will join fellow left-handed hitters LaMonte Wade and Taylor Trammell on the bench while the Astros stock up on some extra right-handed bats to counter Nationals southpaw Foster Griffin. Nick Allen will replace Shewmake at shortstop Wednesday, though both players are likely to see their opportunities in the middle infield dwindle this weekend, when Jeremy Pena (calf) is expected to return from the injured list.

Astros' Braden Shewmake: Activated, will start Monday
The Astros reinstated Shewmake (adductor) from the 10-day injured list Monday, and he'll start at shortstop and bat eighth in the team's series opener in Washington, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Shewmake is back with Houston after a right adductor strain kept him on the shelf for just over a month. The 28-year-old completed a four-game rehab assignment between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Triple-A Sugar Land over the past week, going 3-for-11 with two doubles, three walks and one stolen base. Shewmake could temporarily supplant Nick Allen as the Astros' preferred option at shortstop, though both will be relegated to bench roles when Jeremy Pena (calf) likely makes his return from the IL later this week.

Astros' Braden Shewmake: In midst of rehab assignment
Shewmake (adductor) has gone 3-for-9 with two doubles, three walks, one stolen base, three runs and one RBI over three rehab games between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Triple-A Sugar Land.
Shewmake began the minor-league assignment Saturday, appearing in two games in the FCL before moving to Triple-A on Wednesday. The 28-year-old is working his way back from a right adductor strain, which sent him to the injured list June 2. Once he's ready to rejoin Houston, Shewmake is likely to serve as a utility infielder.

Astros' Braden Shewmake: Resumes running
The Astros announced Monday that Shewmake (adductor) has taken part in baseball activity and is working his way through a running progression at the team's facility in Florida, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Shewmake is making progress in his recovery from the right adductor strain that sent him to the injured list June 2, but the fact that he's conducting his rehab in Florida rather than with Houston suggests that his return isn't imminent. Once Shewmake eventually recovers from the adductor injury, he'll likely have to settle for a utility infield role now that Jose Altuve has beaten him back from the IL.

Astros' Braden Shewmake: Out with adductor strain
The Astros placed Shewmake on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right adductor strain.
Shewmake suffered the injury during Saturday's game versus the Brewers and was unable to make enough improvement to avoid the IL. He'll be eligible to return in mid-June, but it's the type of injury that could lead to an absence longer than the minimum.

Astros' Braden Shewmake: Battling groin soreness
Shewmake was removed from Saturday's game against the Brewers with right groin soreness.
Shewmake went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before leaving the game in the fifth inning. The Astros may have more information regarding the 28-year-old's status after the game. Nick Allen could be in line for reps at the keystone if Shewmake ends up needing to miss time.

Astros' Braden Shewmake: Out of Sunday's lineup
Shewmake (groin) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Shewmake exited Saturday's contest due to groin soreness and will sit for at least one game. Nick Allen is picking up a start at second base for Houston in the series finale.

Astros' Braden Shewmake: Taking seat against southpaw
Shewmake is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
With southpaw Shota Imanaga on the bump for the Cubs, Shewmake will retreat to the bench after going 0-for-5 with a walk and a run scored while starting the first two games of the series at second base. Brice Matthews will handle the keystone Sunday.

Astros' Braden Shewmake: Hitting bench Wednesday
Shewmake is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
The Astros will go with Jeremy Pena at shortstop and Brice Matthews at second base in the series finale, bringing an end to Shewmake's run of nine consecutive starts. Since being acquired from the Yankees in late April and being added to the big-league roster, Shewmake is hitting .291 with three home runs and seven RBI through his first 19 games with Houston. With Pena and Jake Meyers recently returning from the injured list to reclaim everyday roles at shortstop and in center field, respectively, Shewmake and Matthews will jockey for playing time at the keystone.

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.
