Lobstein, Luebke earn bullpen spots with Bucs

The Pirates trimmed their roster on Thursday, reassigning right-handers Jorge Rondon and A.J. Schugel, along with left-hander Jim Fuller and catchers Ed Easley and Jacob Stallings, to Minor League camp.

With these moves, the Pirates' Opening Day bullpen appears to be set, with both Kyle Lobstein and Cory Luebke making the cut. They will join Mark Melancon, Tony Watson, Neftali Feliz, Arquimedes Caminero and Ryan Vogelsong. Jared Hughes (lat strain) will open the season on the disabled list.
