PPittsburgh Pirates  AAA
August 20, 2025
The Pirates optioned Shugart to Triple-A Indianapolis after Wednesday's win against the Blue Jays.
Analysis
The right-hander has been a quality bullpen piece for Pittsburgh this year with a 3.50 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 29:17 K:BB across 43.2 innings, but he'll lose his place on the big-league roster with top prospect Bubba Chandler set to be promoted. Given Shugart's performance, he should receive another look with Pittsburgh before the end of the season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might join big-league roster
PPittsburgh Pirates  AAA
April 6, 2025
Shugart has a locker in the Pirates clubhouse and could be added to the MLB roster ahead of Sunday's game versus the Yankees, per Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com.
Analysis
The right-hander was acquired from the Red Sox in January but was unable to earn a spot on the Pirates' Opening Day roster. Shugart delivered two scoreless frames in his lone appearance with Triple-A Indianapolis to begin the season and will likely fill a low-leverage relief role, assuming he's not simply serving as a member of the taxi squad.
