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.
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.
