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.

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.
