Summary

Jared Jones is back in the Pirates rotation, but his return forces another pitching decision: Carmen Mlodzinski heads to the bullpen while Bubba Chandler stays in the starting five. Alex breaks down why Jones had to start, why Mlodzinski can help fix a major bullpen issue, and why the move still feels rough for a pitcher who had earned more runway.
