The Pittsburgh Pirates made a surprising decision earlier this week by removing Carmen Mlodzinski from the rotation amid Jared Jones’ return.
It appears that it will have unpleasant ramifications.
In another unexpected move, the Pirates announced they have placed Mlodzinski on the restricted list on Sunday. This was in addition to Konnor Griffin being placed on the injured list and Ryan O’Hearn’s return.
