Red Sox send reliever Chase Shugart to Pirates for minor league righthander Matt McShane - The Boston Globe McShane was the Pirates' 13th-round selection in the 2024 draft out of St. Joseph’s.

JANUARY 18 • BOSTONGLOBE.COM

Lands in Pittsburgh The Pirates acquired Shugart from the Red Sox on Friday in exchange for Matt McShane, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Shugart had been designated for assignment. The 28-year-old reached the big leagues for the first time this past season, yielding four runs over 8.2 relief innings. Shugart will compete for a spot in the Pirates' bullpen.

JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Booted from 40-man roster The Red Sox designated Shugart for assignment Wednesday, Hunter Noll of Beyond the Monster reports.

Impact The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Blake Sabol, who was acquired via trade. Shugart, 28, made his major-league debut in 2024, allowing four runs over 8.2 frames out of Boston's bullpen. He should stand a good chance of passing through waivers unclaimed.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Secures first career save Shugart walked two batters in two-thirds of an inning Tuesday to record his first career save in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Chris Martin worked a scoreless ninth inning to protect a 3-3 tie, while Justin Slaten had pitched earlier in the night, so manager Alex Cora had limited options to handle the bottom of the 10th after Boston took the lead. Lefty Zach Penrod began the frame, but his first offering was a wild pitch that sent the phantom runner to third base, and he got only one out while putting two batters aboard. Shugart then took the mound and walked in one of his inherited runners, but he eventually got Addison Barger to pop out to end the game. Roles at the back of the Boston bullpen remain in flux over the final handful of games with Kenley Jansen (shoulder) on the shelf, but Shugart isn't likely to see another save chance.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins bullpen The Red Sox recalled Shugart from Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact He'll absorb the roster spot vacated by the injured Kenley Jansen (shoulder). Shugart has yielded three runs over 1.1 innings covering three appearances during his brief time with the Red Sox this season.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will be called up Monday Shugart is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

Impact The move comes with Boston's top closer Kenley Jansen (shoulder) set to be shut down for the rest of the regular season. Shugart has appeared in three games for the Red Sox this season, with his last outing taking place Sept. 7 against the White Sox, when he allowed three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out two across 1.1 innings. In Triple-A this season, Shugart has a 4.46 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 80:32 K:BB across 70.2 innings.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Red Sox optioned Shugart to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Shugart was recalled by the Red Sox on Sept. 1, and in his last outing Saturday against the White Sox, he gave up a three-run home run to Andrew Benitendi in the top of the seventh inning. In Triple-A this season, Shugart has a 4.55 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 65.1 innings. The move makes room for right-hander Richard Fitts, who will start Sunday in his major-league debut against the White Sox.
