Shewmake had elected free agency from the Brewres earlier in the week in lieu of accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Nashville. He’ll now rejoin the Astros’ organization where he had been prior to being traded to the Brewers in mid-July. He’ll continue to function as extra infield depth.

Shewmake will test the free agent waters in search of a new opportunity after rejecting an outright assignment to Triple-A Nashville. the 28-year-old defensive specialist went 2-for-7 with an RBI and a stolen base during four games with the Brewers after being acquired from the Astros in a trade earlier this month.

Shewmake was designated for assignment last week. He has a .259/.270/.424 slash line with three homers and a stolen base in 91 plate appearances split between the Astros and Brewers.

Shewmake was acquired 12 days ago after being designated for assignment by the Astros. He hit .286/.250/.429 in eight plate appearances with the Brewers and holds a .259/.270/.424 seasonal line with three homers and a stolen base in 91 plate appearances. He’ll likely be a candidate to change teams again, as he did last time for cash.

The 28-year-old infielder had been designated for assignment by the Astros on Friday. He’ll be active and in uniform for the Brewers for Sunday’s first-half finale against Paul Skenes and the Pirates.

Shewmake was just activated from the injured list on Monday and now he loses his spot on the roster to accommodate the return of shortstop Jeremy Peña. He has proven to be a capable reserve infielder, which could be enough to pique another team’s interest on waivers.

Shewmake is at shortstop and hitting eighth on Monday night against the Nationals in his return from the injured list. The 28-year-old infielder wound up missing nearly five weeks with a right adductor strain. He can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.

Shewmake was removed from Saturday’s game with groin tightness and will now find his way to the injured list. There is no timeline for his return, but it will give Brice Matthews a chance to take the starting second base job with Jose Altuve (oblique) also out. Matthews is starting at second base and batting eighth on Tuesday.

Shewmake was pulled from Saturday’s game due to right groin soreness. It doesn’t sound like he’s going to require a trip to the injured list, but it still may be another day or two before he’s ready to return to action. Nick Allen will start in his place at second base and will bat eighth for the Astros against Jacob Misiorowski and the Brewers on Sunday afternoon in Houston.

Nick Allen replaced him at second base against the Brewers. Shewmake was 0-for-2 with a strikeout before exiting.

Shewmake, starting at shortstop on Saturday with both Carlos Correa and Jeremy Peña sidelined, put the Astros on the board for their only run with a solo homer off Chase Burns in the fifth inning. The 28-year-old infielder’s time with the team could be limited with Jeremy Peña (hamstring) nearing a rehab assignment.

Shewmake’s homer on a 99-mph fastball was a 337-footer into the Crawford Boxes. Statcast said it would have been a homer in four ballparks, but it was a pretty impressive piece of hitting regardless. It was his third homer in 85 plate appearances as a major leaguer. He’s 4-for-13 with two homers since the Astros added him.

Shewmake was just acquired from the Yankees on Sunday, and he will now be up with the Astros with Nick Allen (back) on the injured list. Shewmake will serve as a reserve infielder with Carlos Correa regularly starting at shortstop and Isaac Paredes at third base.

Shewmake, 28, was off to a slow start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, slashing .250/.314/.313 with zero homers, one RBI and one stolen base in his first 36 plate appearances. A glove-first infielder, Shewmake will add depth at the Triple-A level for the Astros.

Shewmake had been designated for assignment late last week but passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra infield depth for the Yankees. He’ll stay in major league camp as a non-roster invitee.

The Bombers needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster for the addition of Osvaldo Bido on Thursday and unfortunately Shewmake drew the short straw this time around. The 28-year-old infielder spent the 2025 season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre where he slashed .244/.318/.362 with four homers, 29 RBI and a 52/30 K/BB ratio over 315 plate appearances. There’s a decent chance he’ll pass through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as extra infield depth for the Yankees.
