The Pittsburgh Pirates are finalizing their roster ahead of the season, with notable updates. Mlodzinski is confirmed to be in the rotation, and left-handed reliever Ryan Borucki is expected to make the team after a solid performance in spring training. Despite an injury-plagued previous season, Borucki has showcased his strong potential again. Other lefties in the bullpen include Ferguson and Wentz, while non-roster invitee outfielder is unlikely to make it past the opt-out date. Meanwhile, prospect Thomas Harrington is expected to begin the season in the minors.
"Borucki will be one of at least three lefties in Derek Shelton's bullpen... after missing five months due to injury, he returned to post a strong spring performance."
"The 33.3% strikeout rate he's notched thus far carries some weight, even though his 13.9% walk rate is discouraging."
