J.B. Shuck: Cut loose by Washington

The Nationals released Shuck on Monday, Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.

Shuck was one of 40 minor-league players who were informed of their release last week with the expectation that there won't be a minor-league season in 2020. The outfielder spent the 2019 season in the Pittsburgh organization, appearing in 27 games for the big club and batting .213.
