Mlodzinski On Restricted List; Griffin To IL

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pirates put right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski on the restricted list and infielder Konnor Griffin on the 10-day injured list with a right elbow strain. Mlodzinski was moved to the bullpen earlier this week after Jared Jones returned to the rotation from elbow surgery. Mlodzinski hasn’t pitched since his start against the Chicago Cubs on Monday, and general manager Ben Cherington told reporters he wasn’t ready to pitch Sunday against Minnesota. Cherington said he’s confident Mlodzinski will pitch again for the team soon.
