Schugel was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Wednesday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Schugel was the casualty for another 40-man roster logjam, this time making room for pitcher Jesse Biddle. This is the third time that he's has been designated for assignment this offseason, the first two being by the Diamondbacks and the Mariners. The 26-year-old reached the majors for the first time this past season, but really hasn't pitched all that well above the Double-A level.
