Morning Rundown: Carmen Mlodzinski Begins Rehab Assignment, Brennan Malone Bullpen
A recap of the daily roster moves, including Carmen Mlodzinski beginning his rehab assignment with the Indianapolis Indians.
Last pitching on August 9th, Carmen Mlodzinski began his rehab assignment with the Indianapolis Indians on Tuesday night. In his single inning out of the bullpen, he allowed one unearned run on two hits and a walk while striking out one.
He threw 14 pitches, nine of which for strikes.
With the Pirates this season, Mlodzinski has posted a 2.28 ERA with 21 strikeouts in 23.2 innings pitched. I had talked about his success with his fastball right around the time he went on the injured list.
Working his way back from shoulder surgery, Brennan Malone reached another milestone in his comeback, throwing a bullpen session for the first time, according to a post on Instagram.
Malone, 22, last pitched on June 15th, 2022 with the Bradenton Marauders. The righty is super talented but has thrown just 27 innings since being drafted in 2019.
Back in 2021, he was a part of a combined no-hitter for the Marauders.
Some other roster moves that happened throughout the system on Tuesday.
Brad Case was assigned to the Greensboro Grasshoppers after spending time in the FCL. He pitched an inning on Tuesday, striking out one, while walking and allowing a hit to another.
Greensboro activated Yunior Thibo from the 7-day injured list. He hasn’t pitched since August 12.
To make room for Thibo, Maikol Escotto was transferred to the Development List.
Cal Mitchell was also activated from the 7-day injured list and rejoined the Indianapolis Indians. He had rehabbed a couple of games in Bradenton before rejoining Indianapolis on Tuesday. Before that, he hadn’t played at the Triple-A level since July 4.

It has been lots of fun chatting here. But, since Tedwins, who we ran off of the Asylum for his antagonistic comments there (not just to me) and Catch 22 who seems to have morphed our disagreements over Keller and Skenes/Crews into a personal vendetta are now taking potshots at me, I will be taking my leave.
I have NO idea who this Tim guy is, but apparently I have ticked him off in a previous ‘life’, too.
Since leaving the Asylum myself a few years back, I have had a small email list of about 10-12 folks who I know are good people and I can talk Buccos with them. They don’t get angry if you disagree with them and we can joke around with each other. Life overall is less stressful.
It appears that all of you seem to enjoy talking with both of them, so my absence will be mitigated greatly. So, it appears Ted and Catch have both gotten their revenge and run me the heck outta town. C’est la vie. I hope they have a good time here. I truly do. I harbor no Ill will towards them. But, I am blessed to have enough good friends that I don’t have to put up with them if they don’t like me. Ya can’t get along with everybody.
It was fun while it lasted. I will still support Anthony’s great site monetarily. I just won’t join in on the comments. Goodbye to the vast majority of you whom I DID enjoy bantering with. Hosta Luh Veesta. 😁
I was fully expecting to see N/A listed as the Offensive Player of the Game for Indy.
