The Phillies acquired right-hander Chase Shugart from the Pirates for minor league infielder Francisco Loreto to add pitching depth with option flexibility.
The Pirates are designating reliever Chase Shugart for assignment, reports Jason Mackey of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. They needed to create a 40-man roster spot for Ryan O'Hearn, whose two-year free agent contract was finalized this afternoon. Pittsburgh acquired Shugart in a minor trade with the Red Sox last offseason. The Texas product had only six games of MLB experience at the time. He made it into 35 contests in his first and potentially only season as a Pirate.
