Brett, you didn't mention from where will you arrive in Shanghai. Anyway, assuming that you have written "returning to the US" I'm free to think that you intend to fly US - PVG - US. If I'm right, you cannot do that and remain eligible for visa free transit in China because this is considered to be a transit. In order to be eligible, you have to add a third country in your itinerary to look something like this:

US - Canada - PVG - US or
US - PVG - Hong Kong - US

With the above mentioned itineraries you would be eligible for 144 hours visa free transit. Keep in mind that 144 hours has replaced 72 hours in Shanghai a couple of years ago.
