The Pirates announced that they optioned right-handed relief pitcher Chase Shugart to Triple-A Indianapolis, which opens a spot for a corresponding move, where they'll officially announce the Chandler move ahead of the series opener vs. the Colorado Rockies at PNC Park on Aug. 22.

Growing up, the Chandlers would have family basketball games where Bubba, the baby of the family, would team up with his dad, Ruben. His sisters, Jordan and Cody, and his mom, Bobbi, would normally win. It was a family of athletes, and Chandler’s older sisters set the pace by being stars in track, basketball and softball.

Three top fantasy baseball prospects - Bubba Chandler, Sal Stewart, Brandon Sproat - that can make big impacts. These MLB prospects are waiver wire pickups or stashes.
