The Pirates reinstated Mlodzinski from the 15-day injured list Friday.
Analysis: Mlodzinski landed on the injured list Aug. 12 with a sore right elbow, and he'll now rejoin Pittsburgh's bullpen after just one rehab appearance. The 24-year-old righty threw one inning during his assignment, allowing one unearned run on two hits and a walk while striking out a batter. He's been fairly reliable out of the bullpen for Pittsburgh this year and could see more opportunities for holds during the final month of the year.
Carmen Mlodzinski Begins rehab assignment
Mlodzinski (elbow) is beginning a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Indianapolis, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis: Mlodzinski could be an option again for the Pirates' bullpen as early as this weekend, assuming all goes well on the farm. The 24-year-old had posted a 2.28 ERA across his first 23.2 major-league innings before landing on the injured list Aug. 12 due to right elbow soreness.
