Media reports from Milwaukee indicate he will return to the Brewers after the Missions’ current four-game home series against the Omaha Storm Chasers ends on Sunday.
Through Thursday, Shaw has played in seven games with the Missions and is batting .192. In the last four games he is 4-of-13 (.307) with three runs.
The 6-foot-4, 230-pound infielder played in his first Missions home game on Thursday with the team wearing their alternate Flying Chanclas uniforms.
The Missions are playing on the road against the Round Rock Express – central Texas weather permitting.
The Milwaukee Brewers pitcher has appeared in three games with the Missions while rehabbing from an injury suffered late in the 2017 season.
Nelson started two of his three games with the Missions and has a 2-0 record with a 3.77 ERA. In his last outing, he pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings and threw 86 pitches (54 strikes).
If all goes well Thursday, the 6-foot-6 right hander might once again be a starter for the Brewers by next week.
Todd Rosiak, who covers the Brewers for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reported this quote from Brewers manager Craig Counsel:
“Then, at that point, we’ve got to make a decision. It’s just time. He’s healthy, he’s responding well. We’ve got to decide on putting him in the starting rotation.”
Nelson had a 12-6 record and 3.49 ERA in 29 starts with the Brewers in 2017. His season ended when he was diagnosed with a partially torn labrum and a strained rotator cuff in his right shoulder.
Nelson pitched in his third rehab appearance for the San Antonio Missions. He went 5 2/3 scoreless innings to get the win. He gave up three hits with eight strikeouts and one walk.
The 6-foot-6 right-hander missed all of last season with a shoulder injury. Nelson had a 12-6 record with a 3.49 ERA for the Brewers in 2017.
Nelson is tentatively scheduled to make another start for the Missions on their next road trip. If Friday’s game was any indication, he might be back with the Brewers before long.
Nottingham was called up to the majors on Thursday when an injury left the Milwaukee Brewers in need of another catcher.
In 26 games with Triple-A San Antonio, Nottingham hit .247 with two home runs and 10 RBIs. He was on a hot streak before called up, recording hits in 9 of his last 12 games with the Missions and hitting .324 in that stretch.
Nottingham played in nine games with the Brewers last season and 50 games in Triple-A.
It was just a matter of time this season before Hiura went from the Triple-A San Antonio Missions up to Milwaukee.
The 22-year-old from California was called up this week.
Hiura played 37 games for the Missions this season. He batted .333 with 11 home runs, 15 walks and four stolen bases.
Hiura, a first-round draft pick by the Brewers in 2017, had two hits and a walk in his first game in the majors.
The Triple-A game at Wolff Stadium was Nelson’s first game since he suffered a shoulder injury late in the 2017 season.
That was a promising year for Nelson. The 6-foot-6 right-hander had a 12-6 record and 3.49 ERA with the Brewers.
But that came to an end when he was hurt and diagnosed with a partially torn labrum and a strained rotator cuff. That not only ended his 2017 season, he missed 2018 as well.
Sunday night, Nelson went 3 1/3 innings and threw 72 pitches against the Round Rock Express. The 2010 second-round draft pick allowed three earned runs and two hits with three strikeouts and four walks.
The key for the Brewers is that Nelson came out of the game healthy.
Nelson is scheduled to pitch for the Missions again on Saturday, according to a report from Adam McCalvy, who covers the Brewers.
Fields pitched in eight games this season for the Missions, all in relief. He had an 8.22 ERA.

Houser is expected to get the start Monday night in the Brewers’ road game against the St. Louis Cardinals at 6:45 p.m. (Central).

The 6-foot-4 right-hander has pitched in three games this season for the Missions. He has a 1-0 record with a 1.10 ERA.
Hart pitched a scoreless ninth inning in the Brewers’ 5-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The 5-foot-11 left-hander pitched in six games for the Missions in short relief. He recorded 3.0 innings and had a 0-1 record with a 3.00 ERA. He struck out four batters with two walks and gave up five hits.
Hart pitched in the majors the last three seasons with the Baltimore Orioles. He appeared in 93 games, including 51 in 2017 and 20 last season. He had a 3.43 ERA with a 2-0 record and no saves with the Orioles.
