Swaggerty signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Dec. 11.
EDGE Analysis
Swaggerty ranked as a top-100 prospect at one point, but he has played in only five major-league games and slashed just .195/.319/.364 over 91 plate appearances last season in the Pirates' minor-league system. The 26-year-old will be organizational outfield depth for Los Angeles.

Swaggerty was released by the Pirates on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Swaggerty passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment earlier this week and will now seek to latch on with a new organization. He was selected by the Pirates with the 10th overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft but ultimately appeared in only five major-league games with the club. The 25-year-old outfielder had slashed just .200/.278/.369 through 72 plate appearances this season at Triple-A Indianapolis.

Swaggerty was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Swaggerty was set to make his return from the minor-league injured list this week, but he'll now be placed on waivers for the time being. If no one claims him, the outfielder will in all likelihood remain with Triple-A Indianapolis, otherwise he'll be released outright. The move was made in order to free up a roster spot for right-hander Quinn Priester, who is set to make his major-league debut Monday against the Guardians after Pittsburgh selected his contract.

Triple-A Indianapolis has placed Swaggerty on its 7-day injured list Friday due to an unspecified issue.
EDGE Analysis
Swaggerty missed more than a month of action earlier in the season while battling migraines, and though he returned from the IL on May 23, he played in just seven games before Indianapolis opted to shut him down again. It's not clear what has forced Swaggerty off the active roster this time around, but he hasn't played since June 4 and is without a clear timeline for a return.

Swaggerty (illness) began a rehab assignment with Single-A Bradenton on May 23 and has gone 1-for-9 with five walks, a stolen base and two runs in four games.
EDGE Analysis
Swaggerty has been on the shelf at Triple-A Indianapolis since April 21 while recovering from a viral infection. The outfielder looks as though he may be on the cusp of rejoining the Triple-A affiliate, and he should handle an everyday role once activated.

Swaggerty, who is on the 7-day injured list with Triple-A Indianapolis with a viral illness, is participating in all baseball activities and could return to action before the end of May, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
He landed on the injured list with the viral illness at the end of April, so it's been a lengthy absence. Swaggerty hit .231 with a .310 OBP, one home run and three steals in 14 games prior to landing on the shelf.

Swaggerty was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis by the Pirates on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Swaggerty put together an impressive spring, but he was always on the outside looking in for an Opening Day roster spot in Pittsburgh. The 25-year-old former top prospect will continue working on his craft in the International League.
