Guardians promote RHP Nic Enright less than 3 years after cancer diagnosis
May 25 - Less than three years after receiving a cancer diagnosis, Nic Enright is on his way to the major leagues. The Cleveland Guardians called up the 28-year-old right-handed pitcher from Triple-A Columbus in an effort to bolster their bullpen as Hunter Gaddis heads to the bereavement list following a death in the family. A 20th-round pick by the then-Cleveland Indians in 2019, Enright made nine appearances in 2025 for Columbus, where he held a 2.00 ERA with one save and seven strikeouts over nine innings. Last year, Enright went 2-1 for the Clippers with a 1.06 ERA, striking out 31 and collecting three saves in 17 innings. Enright has not logged a major-league appearance in his six-year career, setting the stage for a likely emotional debut should he get the call to the mound. In 2022, less than a month after the Miami Marlins plucked him from Cleveland in the Rule 5 Draft, Enright was diagnosed with Stage II nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma. The righty persevered, however, believing that reaching the big leagues was a goal that would help him endure the treatments. On-field setbacks emerged, as well, including a shoulder impingement in 2024 and a lat strain that delayed his start to the 2025 season. Now, Enright is on the verge of realizing his MLB dream. --Field Level Media

Guardians call up Nic Enright, who has been pitching through cancer battle
DETROIT (AP) — The Cleveland Guardians called up relief pitcher Nic Enright on Saturday, marking another milestone in his battle against Hodgkin lymphoma. The right-hander, a 20th-round draft pick by the Guardians in 2019, received the cancer diagnosis in December 2022, months after being selected by the Miami Marlins in the Rule V draft. Advertisement He began the season on the injured list while undergoing treatment for the disease of the lymph nodes, but pitched seven times for Triple-A Jacksonville before being returned to the Guardians. He has been undergoing treatments before and after each season, as well as a cycle of immunotherapy at the All-Star break in 2023. He spent 2024 with Triple-A Columbus, going 2-1 with a 1.06 ERA in 16 appearances, then started 2025 with the Clippers. He had a 2.00 ERA in nine games before being called up when Hunter Gaddis went on the bereavement list. ___ AP MLB:
