Pirates' Mlodzinski on Restricted List
31 May
Summary
- Carmen Mlodzinski placed on the restricted list by the Pirates.
- Cam Sanders recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis.
- Mlodzinski was part of the starting rotation for two months.
The Pittsburgh Pirates initiated a roster adjustment on May 31, 2026, by placing pitcher Carmen Mlodzinski on the restricted list. This significant development coincided with the recall of pitcher Cam Sanders from their Triple-A affiliate, Indianapolis.
This move follows a recent shift in the Pirates' starting rotation. Mlodzinski, who was a key part of the rotation for the first two months of the season, was moved to the bullpen after Jared Jones returned from the injured list. Mlodzinski was expected to follow Braxton Ashcraft in the series finale against the Minnesota Twins.
A player placed on the restricted list typically indicates an unapproved absence or a potential retirement announcement, with the possibility of a future return. Mlodzinski's situation is believed to be the former, though not officially confirmed. He indicated plans to consult with his agency and close associates following the decision.
