The Phillies have one of the deepest and most talented bullpens in all of baseball, so it was always going to be tough for Shugart to crack the Opening Day roster. De La Cruz’s chances of earning a spot took a big hit when the Phillies announced that Justin Crawford had made the team. Both players will start out the year as extra depth at the Triple-A level.

Shugart, who was DFA’d last week, had a 3.40 ERA in 45 innings for the Pirates last season, though his peripherals weren’t very impressive; his K/BB was 31/17 and his groundball rate was only 33%. He does have an option year left, though, and the Phillies were surely attracted to that. Loreto, an 18-year-old signed out of Venezuela two years ago, wasn’t regarded as one of the Phillies’ better prospects. He hit .237/.332/.396 in 47 games in the Florida Complex League last season.

Shugart was booted from Pittsburgh’s 40-man roster earlier this week to make room for veteran slugger Ryan O’Hearn. The 29-year-old reliever compiled a decent 4.69 FIP and 31/17 K/BB ratio across 45 innings over 35 appearances for the Pirates this past season. He should attract some interest on waivers as middle relief depth.

Shugart, who was picked up from the Red Sox last offseason, has a 3.50 ERA and a 29/17 K/BB in 43 2/3 innings this season, though that didn’t stop the Pirates from keeping him in the minors the last five weeks. He doesn’t seem like someone who will stick on the 40-man this winter.

Shugart is the corresponding move to free up a spot on Pittsburgh’s active roster for top prospect Bubba Chandler to officially ascend to the majors prior to Friday’s series opener against the Rockies. The 28-year-old righty has posted a solid 3.50 ERA across 43 2/3 innings (34 appearances) this season in the big leagues.

The 28-year-old right-hander had been shelved since July 8 due to inflammation in his left knee. Before landing on the shelf, he had registered a 3.69 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and a 22/15 K/BB ratio over 39 frames in 32 appearances out of the Pirates’ bullpen. Dauri Moreta was optioned back to Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move on Monday.

Shugart fortifies Pittsburgh’s bullpen ahead of Tuesday’s matchup against the Nationals. The 28-year-old rookie has made three scoreless relief appearances this season in his brief time in the majors.
