DFA'd by Pittsburgh The Pirates designated Shugart for assignment Thursday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Shugart spent most of the 2025 season in the majors with the Pirates and posted a 3.40 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, five holds and a 31:17 K:BB across 45 innings.

Rejoins big-league bullpen The Pirates recalled Shugart from Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.

Sent to Triple-A The Pirates optioned Shugart to Triple-A Indianapolis after Wednesday's win against the Blue Jays.

Impact 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.

Returns from IL The Pirates activated Shugart (knee) from the 15-day injured list Monday.
