2024 Fantasy Outlook
Shewmake caught some attention during 2023 Spring Training as he was in competition for the Atlanta's starting shortstop job ultimately won and held onto all season by Orlando Arcia. The result of the season was a disappointing .234/.298/.407 line in 526 Triple-A plate appearances leading to a trade to the White Sox in November. Shewmake's struggles in 2023 coupled with the White Sox making multiple additions across the infield may see him return to Triple-A at least to start 2024. Known for his glove more so than his bat, the former first-round pick could eventually factor into a utility role. Read Past Outlooks
Shut down at Triple-A
Triple-A Charlotte placed Shewmake on its 7-day injured list Sunday due to an unspecified injury.
ANALYSIS
After receiving limited playing time with the White Sox, Shewmake was optioned to Charlotte on May 17 and had settled into an everyday role with the Triple-A club. 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2020
Shewmake was a first-round pick in 2019 out of Texas A&M and might have received a September call-up last year if not for a knee injury in August. He finished the season with a .259/.316/.399 slash line for Triple-A Gwinnett over 75 games. Shewmake has graded out highly for his defense at shortstop in the minors, but his limited offensive ceiling could make him a utility player in the majors once he finally makes his debut. Still, he could factor into the mix for the starting shortstop job if the Braves prefer a premium defender.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be in line for starting role
Shewmake could get the bulk of the playing time at shortstop for Atlanta until Orlando Arcia return from a wrist injury, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Vaughn Grissom has not impressed at the plate or in the field, so Atlanta could give a shot to Shewmake after recalling him Friday. The 25-year-old offers a steadier glove at shortstop and posted a .941 OPS with four homers and six steals over his last 13 games with Triple-A Gwinnett. For fantasy purposes, Shewmake is best left for deep leagues for now.
