DETROIT — For two and a half years, Nic Enright has stood on the doorstep of the major leagues. Now, after being a Rule 5 Draft selection, receiving a cancer diagnosis, returning to his original organization, undergoing debilitating treatments and wondering if he’d ever have the chance to dig his cleats into the big-league dirt, Enright is headed to Cleveland.

The Guardians are calling up Enright from Triple-A Columbus to join their bullpen, multiple team sources told The Athletic, in place of Hunter Gaddis, who is headed to the bereavement list following a death in the family.
The Miami Marlins plucked Enright from Cleveland’s roster during the Rule 5 Draft in December 2022. Later that month, despite exhibiting no symptoms other than a bulge in his neck, Enright was diagnosed with Stage II nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma.
Initially, he wondered if his baseball career was over, especially once he was stuck in a hospital bed, pumped full of chemicals and feeling like a pale, lethargic shell of himself. But he felt the urgency to persevere. As a reliever, he figured he had a shorter window to cash in on potential big-league earnings, and being a Rule 5 pick placed him in the waiting room for the majors. So, he stuck with baseball, and he quickly realized he needed that goal to push through treatments.
The Marlins ultimately sent Enright back to the Guardians in June 2023. Enright thrived on the mound in the minor leagues in 2024 (1.06 ERA, 31 strikeouts in 17 innings), but a shoulder impingement prevented him from earning a promotion. The Guardians added him to their 40-man roster after the season, signaling they had plans for him in 2025.
A lat strain delayed the start of his season, but promising checkups at the hospital have given him peace of mind for the first time in three years. Enright won’t need to undergo any treatments until after the season, and he’s hopeful that will be the last round he’ll ever need. Until then, he can focus on pitching, and now, at long last, pitching on a major-league mound. Since arriving at Triple-A Columbus in late April following his recovery from the lat injury, he allowed two earned runs in nine innings.

Enright’s parents visited him and his wife, Erin, in Columbus this weekend, so the pitcher was able to share the news of his call-up with them in person Friday night. They’ll all be in attendance for the Guardians’ games against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park in Detroit as they await his debut.
The Tigers, coincidentally, are hosting “Strike Out Cancer Weekend” at the ballpark.

Bill Belichick’s UNC Debut Exposed Flaws — But It’s Too Soon to Panic
Bill Belichick's debut as North Carolina's head coach might have been the worst game of his head coaching career.The 48 points UNC gave up to TCU on Monday night were more than any Belichick-coached team gave up in any game during his 29 seasons as an NFL head coach. The 48-14 final was also tied for the second-largest margin of defeat in Belichick's head coaching career. After Belichick's Tar Heels committed a multitude of errors that allowed the Horned Frogs to score 41 straight points in Monday's game, FOX Sports lead college football analyst Joel Klatt admitted that he's a bit concerned about UNC. However, he has some hope that the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach can work some of his magic, while getting some scheduling luck, to right the ship in Chapel Hill. "Am I worried about North Carolina? Yeah, a […]

Os vários recados de Ancelotti para Neymar
O técnico Carlo Ancelotti deu uma série de recados para o atacante Neymar, além de responder, com tranquilidade e em bom português, ao comentário do craque sobre a ausência na convocação. Em entrevista coletiva nesta quarta-feira antes do jogo com o Chile, o italiano enumerou algumas prerrogativas para eleger 25 dos 70 atletas que disse serem convocáveis pelo Brasil. Entretanto, ao elencar a qualidade dos mesmos em primeiro lugar, lembrou que pode chamar jogadores por seu melhor encaixe no coletivo como critério anterior ao nível técnico. - Os recados são: qualidade, primeiro. Depois, estar 100% fisicamente. E que encaixem bem para a equipe. Que joguem para a equipe, não para o individual. Eu escalo um jogador com menos qualidade que outro mas mais efetivo para a equipe - , disse Ancelotti. Antes, o treinador afirmou que a ausência de Neymar […]
