As a member of the Marlins last season, Bugg received his first MLB call-up in August, but he never made an appearance during his brief stint in the big leagues. He opted for free agency this past offseason before inking a minor-league deal with the Twins in February, but he was unable to secure a spot in Minnesota's Opening Day bullpen. The 28-year-old right-hander will presumably look to land a minor-league deal with another organization.

Marlins' Parker Bugg: Dropped from 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Marlins designated Bugg for assignment Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Bugg's stint in the majors (and on the 40-man roster) lasted all of two days, as Miami DFA'd him to clear a spot in the bullpen for Cole Sulser (lat), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. The 27-year-old right-hander will move off the roster having yet to make his debut for the Marlins.
