Phillies recalled RHP Chase Shugart from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Shugart gets the nod to replace an injured Caleb Kilian (oblique) in Philadelphia’s bullpen prior to Monday’s series opener against the Cardinals. The 29-year-old has compiled an underwhelming 4.93 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 45/16 K/BB ratio across 38 1/3 innings of low-leverage work this season.

Phillies optioned RHP Chase Shugart to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Shugart, 29, has made 33 appearances out of the Phillies’ bullpen this season, posting a middling 4.93 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and a 45/16 K/BB ratio across 38 1/3 innings of work. Alan Rangel was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to take his spot on the club’s active roster on Sunday.

Phillies recalled RHP Chase Shugart from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

With Tanner Banks (forearm) hitting the injured list, Shugart will get another opportunity to pitch out of the big league bullpen. The 29-year-old right-hander has registered a 4.97 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and a 34/11 K/BB ratio over 29 innings in 26 appearances with the Phillies on the season.

Phillies optioned RHP Chase Shugart to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Shugart gets the boot for Lou Trivino, with Trivino having his contract selected in a corresponding move. Shugart will likely see another opportunity with the Phillies before summer comes to an end, but in a role that serves no fantasy intrigue.

Shugart gets a chance to make his debut for the Phillies if he gets into the game. He’s a fresh arm with Seth Johnson heading to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Phillies optioned RHP Chase Shugart to Triple-A Lehigh Valley; Reassigned INFs Christian Cairo and Liover Peguero, OF Bryan De La Cruz and RHPs Jonathan Hernández and Lou Trivino to minor league camp.

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.

Phillies acquired RHP Chase Shugart from the Pirates for INF Francisco Loreto.

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.

PIT Relief Pitcher #55

Pirates designated RHP Chase Shugart for assignment.

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.

Pirates recalled RHP Chase Shugart from Triple-A Indianapolis.

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.

Pirates optioned RHP Chase Shugart to Triple-A Indianapolis.

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.

Pirates activated RHP Chase Shugart from the 15-day injured list.

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.

Luis García Jr. doubled twice Tuesday in the Yankees’ 4-1 defeat of the Mariners.

García’s doubles were 111- and 106-mph line drives to the outfield, and both of his outs were hit hard, as well. He’s 6-for-23 with a homer and only one strikeout in six games for his new team.

Ryan Weathers held the Mariners to one run in 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision Tuesday.

Randy Arozarena’s homer in the sixth was the only damage, as none of Weathers’ three walks hurt him. Unfortunately, he needed one more out to secure a win, as the Yankees didn’t take the lead until the bottom of the seventh. Weathers remains 5-7 with a 3.69 ERA ahead of a start in Toronto on Sunday.

Bryan Woo shut out the Yankees for five innings in a no-decision Tuesday.

Woo had his first good road start in three months tonight, but it didn’t matter. He departed with a 1-0 lead and then watched the Yankees score four times in the seventh. Woo is due to pitch on the road again Sunday against the Astros. If the Mariners call up Kade Anderson and push Woo back, he’d still pitch on the road Tuesday in Milwaukee.

Cal Raleigh went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Tuesday’s loss to the Yankees.

Raleigh’s 2026 might wind up as a bigger outlier than his 2025; his 165 OPS+ from last season is closer to his 117 OPS+ from 2022-24 than is his current 64 OPS+. Raleigh is 1-for-14 in his last five games, leaving him at .159/.264/.299 for the year.

Christian Encarnacion hit a solo homer and stole a base while going 3-for-4 in a win over the Twins on Tuesday.

It’s the fourth stolen base of the season for Encarnacion-Strand, while the homer was also his fourth. It’s a small sample of 59 at-bats, but a .271/.328/.525 slash reminds that it wasn’t that long ago that he was considered one of the up-and-coming power bats in the sport. It’s understandable to have skepticism, but weirder things have happened than a 26-year-old with his track record breaking out.

Pete Alonso hit a two-run homer while going 3-for-4 as the Orioles topped the Twins on Tuesday.

Alonso hit one of three homers the Orioles picked up off Bailey Ober on Tuesday. His was the 26th of the season, and it bumped his RBI total to 77. It wouldn’t be fair to qualify Alonso’s first campaign with the Orioles as an elite one, but he’s on pace to finish with over 35 homers and 105 runs driven in. You can do a lot worse.

Gunnar Henderson hit a two-run homer to help the Orioles to a 5-2 win over the Twins on Tuesday.

Henderson’s two-run homer gave the Orioles a 4-0 lead in the second, and gave the shortstop his 19th homer of the 2026 campaign. He also singled and doubled for a friendly reminder of what Henderson is capable of at his best. Fantasy managers are well aware that there just haven’t been enough of these days in 2026.

Andrew Kittredge didn’t allow a run while picking up a save Tuesday against the Twins.

Kittredge now has six saves on the season, and the scoreless outing lowers his ERA to 3.57. Yennier Cano worked the eighth inning of this one and also fired a scoreless inning. It’s tough to say who the closer of the Orioles is right now, but Kittredge has gotten the last two save chances.

Bailey Ober was charged for five runs in six innings and picked up a loss versus the Orioles on Tuesday.

Ober allowed three homers in the game, and two of them came in the first two innings, both two-run shots. It’s pretty hard to overcome that, and while he gave up just one more run — another homer — the damage was done. Ober just hasn’t shown any consistency in 2026, and now has a 4.64 ERA on the season. He’s set to face Atlanta on Monday.
