The Orioles placed Enns on the paternity list Saturday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Enns will be permitted to return to the team for Sunday's series finale, though his move to the paternity list will likely spell the end of his 2025 campaign. If so, he'll finish with a 4.08 ERA and 1.40 WHIP across 46.1 innings between Detroit and Baltimore. Grant Wolfram was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move.

Orioles' Dietrich Enns: Earns second save
Rotowire
Enns picked up the save Monday against the White Sox. He allowed no hits or walks while striking out four over three perfect innings.
Enns locked down his second save of the year with a dominant three-inning effort, retiring all nine batters he faced. The veteran lefty has worked more than an inning in each of his last seven outings, though four of his previous six appearances before Monday came with at least one earned run allowed. With the Orioles this season, the 34-year-old owns a 3.28 ERA and 1.30 WHIP across 24.1 innings in 14 appearances.
Orioles' Dietrich Enns: Opening Wednesday's contest
Rotowire
Enns will serve as the Orioles' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against Boston, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Enns has pitched in several high-leverage situations since joining the Orioles at the trade deadline, but he'll be taking the hill for at least the first inning of Wednesday's contest. The 34-year-old southpaw has posted a 3.97 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 11.1 innings with the Orioles, and although he's pitched as many as five innings in an appearance in the majors and six innings in the minors this season, he'll likely only remain in Wednesday's game for a frame or two before handing the game over to bulk reliever Roansy Contreras.

Orioles' Dietrich Enns: Locks down first save
Rotowire
Enns earned the save in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Mariners, allowing a run on two hits and a walk in the ninth inning.
Enns' first save since 2021 didn't come easy -- after giving up back-to-back singles to open the frame, the left-hander managed to hold Seattle to just one run to close out the Orioles' victory. Enns has pitched well overall since joining Baltimore at the trade deadline, allowing two runs while striking out 12 over 6.1 innings to put his name in the late-inning mix.

Orioles' Dietrich Enns: Dealt to Baltimore
Rotowire
Enns was traded from the Tigers to the Rays in exchange for cash considerations Thursday.
Enns was designated for assignment earlier in the day after the Tigers acquired Codi Heuer. However, he now looks likely to immediately contribute to Baltimore's bullpen. He's maintained a 5.60 ERA and 1.53 WHIP across 17.2 innings in the majors this season.

Rotowire
The Tigers designated Enns for assignment Thursday.
The transaction will free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Codi Heuer, who was acquired via trade. Enns has posted a 5.60 ERA and 15:4 K:BB over 17.2 innings with the Tigers this season, making two starts and five relief appearances.

Tigers' Dietrich Enns: Continues to pitch well in relief
Rotowire
Enns tossed 2.2 scoreless innings of relief in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Pirates. He allowed three hits and struck out three.
Enns has now made three appearances out of Detroit's bullpen, and he's yet to allow any runs across seven innings of work. The lefty didn't fare as well in two starts for the Tigers, but he could be settling in as an effective long reliever. While the improved performance is promising, Enns is in a fairly low-leverage role with limited fantasy upside at the moment, though he could take on more prominent work if he continues to pitch well.
Tigers' Dietrich Enns: Sharper in first relief appearance
Rotowire
Enns tossed three scoreless innings of relief in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Rays. He allowed four hits and struck out two.
Enns made his last outing as a starter on July 3, when he allowed eight runs (seven earned) across four innings. Detroit manager A.J. Hinch announced a few days later that the lefty would shift to the bullpen, and Wednesday's appearance was his first in that role. Enns worked exclusively as a starter for the Tigers and Triple-A Toledo prior to Wednesday, so he should at least be able to give the team some length as a reliever, and he was effective in his first stint.

Tigers' Dietrich Enns: Moves to bullpen
Rotowire
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said prior to Sunday's 7-2 win over the Guardians that Enns will make his next appearance out of the bullpen, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Enns limited the Athletics to one hit over five shutout innings in his first start with the Tigers on June 26, but he ended up losing his spot in the rotation after he was blown up for eight runs (seven earned) over four innings in his second start Thursday in Washington. Hinch has yet to announce a replacement in the rotation for Enns, but Keider Montero is expected to be called up from Triple-A Toledo on Monday and will either start or serve as a bulk reliever in Detroit's series opener versus the Rays, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. Enns will be available in relief Monday, but the Tigers aren't heading into the game with the plan of having him cover multiple innings.

Tigers' Dietrich Enns: Hit hard vs. Nats
Rotowire
Enns (1-1) took the loss Thursday against the Nationals, allowing eight runs (seven earned) on eight hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out three.
After turning in five shutout innings against the A's in his first start this year, it was a different story for Enns his second time out. The Nats jumped on the left-hander for five runs in the first inning, capped by a three-run Paul DeJong homer. With Reese Olson (finger) slated to rejoin the Tigers' rotation Friday, Enns likely won't stick in the rotation.
Enns is scheduled to start Thursday's game against the Nationals in Washington, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
The left-hander made his first MLB appearance since 2021 last Thursday against the Athletics in what was expected to be a spot start, but he'll receive another turn through the rotation after allowing just one hit across five scoreless frames. Another strong performance could keep Enns in the rotation on a longer-term basis, even with Reese Olson (finger) potentially making his return from the injured list this week.

Tigers' Dietrich Enns: Blanks A's in Tigers debut
Rotowire
Enns (1-0) earned the win Thursday over the A's, allowing just one hit and two walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out four.
Detroit couldn't have asked for more from Enns, who was making his first major-league appearance since 2021 and his first start since 2017. Despite his stellar effort, the 34-year-old Enns is expected to head back to Triple-A Toledo, with Reese Olson (finger) nearing a return from the IL. Enns has posted a 2.89 ERA in 14 starts (62.1 innings) in Triple-A this year.
Tigers' Dietrich Enns: Contract selected ahead of start
Rotowire
The Tigers selected Enns' contract from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Enns will draw the start in Thursday's contest against the Athletics in what will be his first appearance in the majors since 2021 and first start in the big leagues since 2017. The 34-year-old earned an opportunity after collecting a 2.89 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 71:15 K:BB across 62.1 innings (14 starts) with Toledo. With Reese Olson (finger) expected back from the injured list next week, Enns could be in line for just one start with the Tigers.

Tigers' Dietrich Enns: MLB promotion on tap
Rotowire
Enns is expected to be called up from Triple-A Toledo to start Thursday's game against the Athletics, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Enns joined Detroit on a minor-league deal in December and will get a look with the big club after posting a 2.89 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 71:15 K:BB across 62.1 innings (14 starts) with Toledo. The left-hander last appeared in the majors in 2021 with the Rays and delivered a 2.82 ERA in nine bullpen appearances before he spent the subsequent three seasons pitching overseas. Detroit is expected to get Reese Olson (finger) back from the injured list next week, so Enns may be in store for just one turn through the rotation before heading back to Triple-A.
