Dietrich

Enns

Enns had a $3 million club option for next season that the new agreement ostensibly replaces. The 34-year-old southpaw reliever posted a serviceable 4.08 ERA with a 49/15 K/BB ratio over 46 1/3 innings in 24 appearances split between the Tigers and Orioles this past season.

Enns missed the final weekend of the regular season on paternity leave. The 34-year-old lefty finished the year with a solid 4.08 ERA and 49/15 K/BB ratio across 46 1/3 innings over 24 appearances split between the Tigers and Orioles.

Enns will miss the final weekend of the regular season while away on paternity leave. The 34-year-old southpaw wraps up the season with a respectable 4.08 ERA and 49/15 K/BB ratio across 46 1/3 innings over 24 appearances split between the Tigers and Orioles.

Enns gets the rare three-inning save, and it’s even rarer when it comes in a game that woulda been a save situation even before that previous stipulation. The 34-year-old is a valuable multi-inning option for the Orioles, but isn’t likely to get many more save chances to finish the year. It’d be a pretty safe bet this was the last one.

Roansy Contreras is coming up to make a bulk relief appearance after Enns kicks off a bullpen game for the Orioles. There isn’t a ton of fantasy value to be extracted here.

The Orioles had lefty Dietrich Enns pitch the eighth with a 4-1 lead tonight, and after he got through it scoreless, he stayed in to face Roman Anthony in a 6-1 game in the ninth. Anthony singled, at which point Cano entered. Cano went on to walk Nathaniel Lowe and give up a two-run double to Jarren Duran with two outs before getting Ceddanne Rafaela to ground out to end it. It wasn’t a save situation for Cano, but the way things played out suggests he would have gotten one had the Orioles not increased their lead in the ninth.

Working with a three-run lead, Enns gave up two singles and a one-out walk before getting a pair of groundouts to end the game. It’s his third major league save; he had a three-inning save and a one-out save for the Rays in Sept. 2021 before heading to Japan in 2022. Enns has allowed two runs and struck out 12 in 6 1/3 innings since being DFA’d by the Tigers and picked up by the Orioles at the trade deadline. He seems best utilized as more of a long man, but since no one else is stepping up in the Orioles pen, it’s possible he’ll get more chances in the ninth.

The 34-year-old southpaw had been designated for assignment earlier in the day on Thursday, but the Orioles were happy to pounce and acquire an arm that can step right into their bullpen or rotation. Enns posted a 5.60 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and a 15/4 K/BB ratio over 17 2/3 innings in seven appearances (two starts) for the Tigers this season.

Enns is off the 40-man roster to make room for Codi Heuer. Enns could be of interest on the waiver wire, and if he goes unclaimed, he can report back to Toledo or test free agency.

Enns will not longer be taking the ball on Monday against the Rays. The 34-year-old southpaw was torched for eight runs — seven earned — over four innings on Thursday in a loss to the Nationals. He’ll pitch in relief moving forward and can be safely ignored in most fantasy formats.
