Carmen Mlodzinski Recalled, Set for Bullpen Role
Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the Pittsburgh Pirates are promoting right-handed pitcher Carmen Mlodzinski to the big-league roster. Pitcher Kyle Nicolas was optioned in a corresponding move. The South Carolina product started 2025 in the majors but was sent down after a poor showing through his first nine outings (5.67 ERA, 1.61 WHIP). He's pitched well for Triple-A Indianapolis since then -- yielding 11 hits and two earned runs over 15 2/3 innings (three starts) with a matching 1.15 ERA and WHIP. Mlodzinski will reportedly work out of the bullpen in a long-relief role, similar to that of teammate Braxton Ashcraft.
