Shuck went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Thursday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Shuck belted his first homer of the spring, a two-run shot that went sailing over the right-field fence in the second inning. He's 2-for-9 with two runs scored, a home run and two RBI so far as a non-roster invitee. Shuck should have a chance to crack the big-league roster if he stays strong throughout camp.

Shuck signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training.
EDGE Analysis
Shuck split time between Triple-A New Orleans and Miami last season, hitting a solid .327/.405/.461 in 51 games with the Baby Cakes but struggling to a .192/.255/.231 line across 70 games with the Marlins. The 31-year-old owns a career .244/.294/.316 line across parts of six major-league seasons and projects as organizational outfield depth.

The Marlins outrighted Shuck to Triple-A New Orleans on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Shuck will stick around in the organization as minor-league depth after none of the other 29 teams were willing to put a waiver claim in for the outfielder. The 31-year-old slashed .192/.255/.231 across 142 plate appearances while seeing action in 70 games for the Marlins.

Shuck was designated for assignment by Miami on Thursday, Craig Mish of SiriusXM Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shuck has played in 70 games for the Marlins this season, slashing an unsightly .192/.255/.231 with just four extra-base hits and four RBI across 142 plate appearances. Unless claimed off waivers or traded, Shuck will report to Triple-A New Orleans, where he spent a little time back in early April. It appears as though Garrett Cooper (wrist) may return to the fold in a corresponding move, though the club has yet to make an official announcement.

Shuck is out of the lineup Sunday against the Orioles, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thanks to the designated hitter being available for the Marlins in Baltimore this weekend, Shuck had entered the lineup for the first two games of the series, and three in a row dating back to Thursday's series finale against the Giants. After recording four hits versus San Francisco, Shuck turned in a pair of 0-for-4 performances against Baltimore and now looks like he'll see his brief run of steady at-bats come to a close unless an injury hits one of the Marlins' regular outfielders.

Shuck went 4-for-7 with two doubles and a run scored in Thursday's extra-innings loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Remarkably, it's Shuck's second four-hit performance of the year despite a poor .212/.278/.263 slash line through 52 games. The 30-year-old will continue to serve as a depth outfield option for the Marlins, getting occasional starts when a right-hander is on the mound for the opposition.

Shuck got the start in right field and hit sixth Friday, going 4-for-4 with a triple and two runs scored in a 7-2 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Seeing his first action in the majors since 2016, Shuck tried to make up for a lot of lost time with his big performance. His current 2.500 OPS is a wee bit higher than his .634 career mark, though, so even if he earns a platoon role in the Marlins' outfield, Friday's game could well end up being the high point of his season.

Shuck will be called up by Miami prior to Friday's game against the Pirates, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shuck began the season with Triple-A New Orleans, and has gone 4-for-21 with a pair of RBI during his first seven appearances. The 30-year-old won't make an impact at the fantasy level for the Marlins, and will be utilized as a reserve outfielder behind Derek Dietrich, Lewis Brinson, Cameron Maybin and Braxton Lee. Shuck didn't appear in a big-league game during the 2017 campaign, though he did play in 81 the year before with the White Sox.

Shuck signed a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training with Miami on Friday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shuck spent the 2017 season in the Twins' organization, playing in 123 games for Triple-A Rochester. During those contests, the outfielder hit .259/.325/.368 with four home runs and 37 RBI. Looking ahead, he will get a chance to make the Opening Day roster for Miami, but will likely begin the year in Triple-A yet again.

Shuck was reassigned to minor league camp on Thursday, LaVelle E. Neal of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shuck owned just a .291 on-base percentage over 49 at-bats this spring, so at this point the Twins would prefer to get their young outfield extended at-bats before turning to the 29-year-old. Eddie Rosario, Byron Buxton and Max Kepler will be the projected starters, while Robbie Grossman and Danny Santana will be potential bench options, if one of them is not serving as the DH.
