Some good stuff from Carmen Mlodzinski just now. He’ll work out of the bullpen and said he won’t be in high-league situations right away and will likely be used to cover multiple innings.
Here's one quote that stood out to me about the team's decision to put him back into the bullpen: "I'm here to help the team any way I can. I'm not the GM. I don't make those decisions, but I can certainly voice this is what I want to do and this is what I'm capable of. They didn't say, 'Hey, you're a reliever the rest of your life.' It was, 'We want our best pitchers in the big leagues,' which I understand. Whatever that role is, I'm going to have to take it and do it the best I can."
