The Pirates claimed Schugel off waivers from the Mariners on Tuesday, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Analysis:

Schugel struggled in his first taste of the majors last season, giving up 13 runs (five earned) in nine innings of relief work for Arizona. The 26-year-old righty has primarily worked as a starter throughout his minor league career, mostly getting middling results and only reaching the Triple-A level last season. He'll be a long shot to earn a spot on Pittsburgh's Opening Day roster.
