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.

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.
