Nationals' J.B. Shuck: Joins Nationals on minors deal
J.B. Shuck signed with the Washington Nationals as a non-roster invitee Wednesday.Shuck has appeared in 461 games at the big-league level, including 27 for the Pirates last year. However, he hasn't exactly impressed, hitting .243/.296/.314. He attempted a conversion to a two-way role with Triple-A Indianapolis last season with mixed results. His 3.79 ERA in 19 innings was quite respectable, but it came with an 18.9 percent walk rate.

Pirates' J.B. Shuck: Trying two-way role
J.B. Shuck will attempt to convert to being a two-way player with Triple-A Indianapolis, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic Pittsburgh reports.Shuck owns a career .243/.296/.314 slash line over parts of seven big-league seasons, leaving him a fifth outfielder at best. If he can also serve as a competent reliever, that could be enough to keep him on a big-league roster, but there's no particular reason to believe he can serve a fantasy-relevant role on either side of the ball. The 31-year-old last worked as a pitcher back in college.

Pirates' J.B. Shuck: Benched after back-to-back starts
J.B. Shuck is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.Shuck had made back-to-back starts in the corner outfield, but he'll sit in the series finale in favor of Jason Martin. Both Martin and Shuck seem to be stuck in a timeshare for the outfield spot opposite Melky Cabrera while Gregory Polanco (shoulder), Corey Dickerson (shoulder) and Lonnie Chisenhall (finger) are on the 10-day injured list.

Pirates' J.B. Shuck: Starting in center field
J.B. Shuck will bat seventh and start in center field Thursday against the Reds.Shuck's time in center will likely be limited to Opening Day while Starling Marte recovers from a migraine headache. Shuck was questionable to even make the Pittsburgh Pirates, roster, but he will now be an Opening Day starter just 24 hours later. GM Neal Huntington mentioned on The Fan 93.7 pregame radio show that while Melky Cabrera will see the majority of right field starts with Gregory Polanco (shoulder) out, Shuck will also play in right. The announcement was somewhat surprising, given that Huntington didn't mention Pablo Reyes, who made frequent right field starts in September, at all. In the end, performance will probably dictate whether Shuck or Reyes sees more action in the outfield.

Shuck's contract was purchased Thursday, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.With Lonnie Chisenhall (broken finger) opening the year on the IL, Shuck was able to make the team at the last minute.

Pirates' J.B. Shuck: Could make Opening Day roster
J.B. Shuck could break camp with the Pittsburgh Pirates if Lonnie Chisenhall (hand) is forced to open the season on the injured list, Nubyjas Wilborn of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.Shuck and Chisenhall will both travel to Cincinnati ahead of Thursday's season opener before a decision is made. Even if Shuck does break camp with the Pirates, it would likely be in a reserve role given his .192/.255/.231 line in 70 games with the Marlins last season.
