Nick Kurtz and Jeff McNeil power the A's to an 11-2 victory over the struggling Pirates

Nick Kurtz hit two homers and drove in five runs, Jeff McNeil also went deep and knocked in four, and the Athletics beat the scuffling Pittsburgh Pirates 11-2

Serves up grand slam Mlodzinski allowed four earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out three across 3.2 innings Wednesday against the Dodgers.
Impact Mlodzinski entered the game in the fifth inning, following Jared Jones. He had a routine opening frame, but he loaded the bases and served up a grand slam in the sixth frame. While it was a poor outing, Mlodzinski was bailed out of taking the loss by a late Pirates' rally. This also marked the first time Mlodzinski has given up more than two earned runs in his last five innings, and he will likely continue to work roughly once a week in a long-relief role.

Records four-inning save Mlodzinski notched a save against the Astros on Thursday, allowing one run on four hits and no walks while striking out three batters over four innings.
Impact Mlodzinski made his first appearance since he was moved out of the rotation and subsequently had a short stay on the restricted list. The right-hander followed Jared Jones, who pitched five scoreless innings, and tossed 55 pitches (36 strikes), with the only run against him coming on an Isaac Paredes solo homer. Mlodzinski notched the second save of his career (and first since 2023), but it's unlikely that he'll be in line for many additional save opportunities. He may continue to piggyback with Jones while the latter eases up his pitch count.

Activated from restricted list The Pirates activated Mlodzinski from the restricted list Monday, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.
Impact Mlodzinski's stay on the restricted list lasted 24 hours after he expressed frustration following his removal from the Pirates' rotation with the activation of Jared Jones from the injured list this past weekend. Mlodzinski is now putting his feelings aside and said Monday that he's willing to do whatever he can to help the team, as he's now going to come out of the Pittsburgh bullpen. The right-hander's stuff (92 Stuff+) has graded well below average this season as a starter. He's also given up a ton of hard contact with a second-percentile hard-hit rate of 50.9 percent. Mlodzinski was more effective as a reliever and spot starter prior to 2026.

Lands on restricted list The Pirates placed Mlodzinksi on the restricted list Sunday for unspecified reasons, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.
Impact The official reasoning for the move hasn't been disclosed, but it's unlikely to be a coincidence that it comes just a few days after Mlodzinski was bumped from the starting rotation to the bullpen. The right-hander has a 3.76 ERA across 55 innings this year, though his 1.42 WHIP and 46:20 K:BB paint a less encouraging outlook.

Pirates' Jared Jones Set for First MLB Start Since 2024 on Friday Night vs. Twins
Shifted to bullpen Pirates manager Don Kelly said Thursday that Mlodzinski has been moved to the bullpen, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.
Impact Mlodzinski has held his own as a member of the Pirates' rotation this season, collecting a 3.76 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 46:20 K:BB over 55 innings. However, with Mlodzinski having significant relief experience and the Pirates needing bullpen help from the right side, it makes sense to shift Mlodzinski to a relief role to accommodate the return of Jared Jones (elbow).
