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: 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.

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: 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.

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: MiLB deal with Detroit
Rotowire
The Tigers signed Enns to a minor-league contract on Dec. 16.
Enns reported the news himself on his Instagram account. The left-hander spent the 2022 to 2023 seasons in Japan with the Saitama Seibu Lions and in 2024 in Korea with the LG Twins. He last saw action in the majors in 2021 with the Rays, posting a 2.82 ERA in nine relief appearances.

Rays' Dietrich Enns: Needs just one out for save
Rotowire
Enns struck out the only batter he faced to record his second save of the year Monday in a 6-4 win over the Blue Jays.
The Rays entered the ninth sitting on a 6-2 lead, but things quickly changed after David Robertson allowed a two-run homer to Marcus Semien to make it 6-4. Robertson was eventually replaced by JT Chargois who couldn't escape the inning either after loading the bases. Enns was the next one to be called upon and was able to clean up the mess by striking out Breyvic Valera to end the game. Enns has been fantastic this month with a 0.79 ERA, 0,71 WHIP and 13:1 K:BB to go along with two wins and two saves over four appearances. The Rays still don't have an outright closer, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Enns get at least another save before the regular season ends.

Rays' Dietrich Enns: Continues recent success in win
Rotowire
Enns (2-0) got the win in Thursday's 5-2 victory over Detroit, allowing one run on three hits and a walk with three strikeouts in four innings.
Manager Kevin Cash tabbed Enns to follow opener Louis Head and the 30-year-old delivered the quality performance Tampa Bay was banking on. The only run he surrendered came on a Niko Goodrum solo shot in the fifth, while two Tigers were picked off the bases while the lefty was on the hill. Enns has now permitted just one run in 11 September innings across three appearances while striking out 12 batters.

Rays' Dietrich Enns: Perfect in relief win
Rotowire
Enns (1-0) picked up the win in Saturday's 7-2 victory over the Tigers, tossing four perfect innings of relief while striking out six.
Chris Archer got the start but left after four innings due to a hip issue, and Enns entered the game to replace him with the Rays already ahead 5-1. The southpaw gave Detroit no opportunity to mount a comeback, putting together the best outing of his brief big-league career to earn his first MLB win. Enns has a 3.38 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB through 16 innings for Tampa Bay this season while bouncing between the majors and Triple-A, and he'd be one of the top candidates to fill Archer's rotation spot or work as a primary pitcher behind an opener if the right-hander misses his next turn.

Rotowire
The Rays reassigned Enns to their minor-league camp Tuesday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Twins' Dietrich Enns: Sent outright to Rochester
Rotowire
Enns cleared waivers Monday and was outrighted to Triple-A Rochester.
Enns was designated for assignment on May 1, but he garnered no interest on the waiver wire after his middling start to the season with the Red Wings (4.50 ERA, 11:11 K:BB in 20 innings pitched). He'll continue to serve as organizational depth moving forward.
