Pirates' Rob Zastryzny: Serving as opener Thursday
Zastryzny will serve as the Pirates' opening pitcher Thursday versus the Cubs.
This will be Zastryzny's first major-league start since 2016, though he'll probably only work an inning or two before giving way to bulk pitcher Andre Jackson. Zastryzny, 31, has allowed 13 runs (10 earned) through 17 major-league frames in 2023.

Pirates' Rob Zastryzny: Selected to MLB bullpen
Pittsburgh selected Zastryzny's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.
Zastryzny was designated for assignment by the Pirates in early July, but he remained with the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed and will now get another look in a major-league bullpen role. The 31-year-old lefty has posted a 5.29 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and 13:13 K:BB over 17 innings this season in the bigs.

Pirates' Rob Zastryzny: Outrighted to Indy
The Pirates outrighted Zastryzny to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.
Zastryzny was designated for assignment immediately after being activated from the injured list Friday, and he'll officially remain in the Pirates' farm system after clearing waivers. The 31-year-old reliever holds a 5.57 ERA in the majors since 2022, struggled during his rehab assignment with Indianapolis and no longer has a spot on the 40-man roster, so it's unlikely Zastryzny sees the majors again this season.

Pirates' Rob Zastryzny: Placed on 15-day IL
Zastryzny was placed on the 15-day injured list with left forearm inflammation Friday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
Zastryzny will be out of commision for at least 15 days, so the Pirates selected the contract of Carmen Mlodzinski from Triple-A Indianapolis to replace him in the big-league bullpen Friday. Considering the injury is to Zastryzny's throwing arm, Pittsburgh will likely be cautious with his recovery.

The left-hander tossed a scoreless inning with Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, allowing one hit and a walk while striking out a batter. Over seven appearances with the Pirates in 2023, Zastryzny has struggled to a 7.94 ERA and 1.94 WHIP with six punchouts over 5.2 innings.

Zastryzny made it through a string of bullpen sessions without issue and has been cleared again for live competition.

Pirates' Rob Zastryzny: Throws live BP on Tuesday
Zastryzny (elbow) threw a live bullpen Tuesday, and he'll throw another later this week ahead of a potential rehab assignment next week, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
Zastryzny has been on the injured list with left ulnar neuritis since the middle of April, and it appears the southpaw has made quicker progress than anticipated. He'll likely need a week or so of rehab appearances. If all goes well, Zastryzny has a chance to pitch in the middle of the Pittsburgh bullpen right around the start of June.

Zastryzny (elbow) will be shut down for 7-10 weeks after being diagnosed with left ulnar neuritis, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Pirates' Rob Zastryzny: Heads to injured list
The Pirates placed Zastryzny on the 15-day injured list Sunday with left elbow discomfort, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Pirates' Rob Zastryzny: Makes bullpen for PIT
Zastryzny had his contract selected by the Pirates on Thursday.
Zastryzny claimed the final spot in Pittsburgh's bullpen after tallying 10 strikeouts and yielding zero earned runs across 7.1 innings this spring in the Grapefruit League. The 31-year-old southpaw tends to struggle against right-handed hitters, but he's held lefties to a .174/.321/.239 slash line over parts of four major-league seasons.

Pirates' Rob Zastryzny: In line for Opening Day roster
Zastryzny is on track to be included on the Pirates' Opening Day roster, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
Zastryzny joined Pittsburgh on a minor-league deal in December, so he'll need to be added to the 40-man roster ahead of Thursday's season opener versus the Reds. The left-hander earned one of the final spots in the bullpen by throwing 7.1 scoreless innings and posting a 10;1 K:BB in the Grapefruit League. The 31-year-old has made only 24 appearances in the majors over four-plus seasons, but he'll have a chance to stick in the Pirates bullpen if he pitches well in the early part of 2023.
