Summary
Pirates shock fans by placing pitcher Carmen Mlodzinski on the restricted list right before a game, citing his own admission he wasn’t ready to pitch — a move that strips him of pay, service time, and roster protection. After being moved out of the rotation to make room for Jared Jones, Mlodzinski, 27, had been a solid starter earlier this season and has thrived in the bullpen. GM says progress is being made on his role, but he’s not yet ready for Sunday’s start. Cam Sanders is called up to fill the void — and while Mlodzinski’s future as a starter isn’t ruled out, the Pirates are focused on winning now.
