Mlodzinski was making his first major league start since May. He opened the season in the Pirates rotation, but he was sent to the minors after going 1-4 with a 5.67 ERA in nine turns. Since being brought back, he had a 2.55 ERA and a 34/8 K/BB in 35 1/3 innings out of the pen, earning him another chance. Ultimately, Mlodzinski probably will wind up back in the pen, but he could finish out this season as a starter if the Pirates want. He’ll face the Rockies next weekend if he remains in the rotation.

Mlodzinski has been able to work multiple innings out of the bullpen, so he should be able to handle a few frames before giving way to a pitcher. One of those hurlers could be Andrew Heaney with Heaney being demoted to the bullpen earlier in the week.

It would have been a save if Mike Burrows had gotten two more outs, but Burrows was ineligible for the win after being pulled with a 6-1 lead in the fifth. Mlodzinski has a 3.09 ERA in 11 2/3 innings of relief work since being recalled earlier this month.

The Pittsburgh Gazette’s Noah Hiles reports that Mlodzinski will be used as a bulk reliever, similar to the role Braxton Ashcraft has right now. It’s a role that the 26-year-old has handled well so far in his career. Having both Mlodzinski and Ashcraft pitching multiple innings out of the bullpen means that the Pirates’ starting pitchers may not be pushed as deep into games.

Those waiting for Bubba Chandler to take Mlodzinski’s spot in the rotation may need to wait a bit longer. The 26-year-old still has a 5.20 ERA on the season, but he was good enough on Sunday, with an 18 percent whiff rate and 25 percent CSW on the day. He should not be added in any fantasy formats.

For the second start in a row and the fourth time in five outings, Mlodzinski was unable to work past the fifth inning. The 26-year-old didn’t walk anyone, but still needed 88 pitches — 53 of them strikes — to get his 14 outs. Mlodzinski should be avoided if at all possible when he faces Atlanta on Sunday. That’s more of an indictment on the right-handed hurler than a compliment to the Atlanta offense.

Mlodzinski just doesn’t have a good enough approach at this point to face a major league lineup for a third time. His fastball doesn’t miss many bats and he’s unwilling to mix his secondary pitches enough against left-handed hitters. So, it winds up being a lot of back-door sweepers against them and then hoping for the best. That’s how one winds up with a 6.58 ERA through six starts. His place in this rotation could become tenuous with some exciting pitching prospects in the Pirates’ system.

Mlodzinski scattered five hits, and he struck out four while allowing one walk. The 26-year-old didn’t give up a run for the the first three frames, but scuffled in the fourth, giving up a three-spot highlighted by a two-run homer by Logan O’Hoppe. The start ‘lowers’ his ERA to 6.95, and he shouldn’t be on fantasy rosters for his scheduled bout against the Cubs next week.

It might be time to end this and send Mlodzinski back to the pen, where he’s likely to prove more helpful to the Pirates’ cause. After giving up nine hits tonight, his ERA stands at 7.41 ERA through four starts. The stuff just isn’t quite there to get through a lineup a second or especially a third time.

The right-hander also walked two and struck out four while posting a 30 percent whiff rate and 34 percent CSW. His sweeper and slider combination helped him to miss bats, and he did get 17 called strikes on the day, but he also gave up some hard contact and will now bring a 6.23 ERA into a start next week against Cleveland. You have to wonder when Bubba Chandler gets a chance.
