## Resource

Pirates pitcher Carmen Mlodzinski, once a starter, is now in a tricky “piggyback” role helping Jared Jones recover from injury — but his recent outings haven’t gone well, sparking debate about whether he’s better suited for a high-leverage closer spot. After initially resisting the bullpen move and even asking to be placed on the restricted list, Mlodzinski has shifted his focus to helping the team win, even as the organization reevaluates his exact role and whether he’ll stay behind Jones every time.
