Nic Enright recorded his first career save as the Guardians defeated the Mets 7-6, marking a significant personal milestone amid his battle with Hodgkin lymphoma. Diagnosed in late 2022, Enright is close to completing treatment. Cleveland selected him in the 20th round of the 2019 draft, and he made his major league debut in May 2023. With a 2.01 ERA in 19 appearances, he has shown remarkable performance amidst challenges, including previous injuries and treatment. He aims to inspire others facing similar hardships with his determination to not let his diagnosis define him.
"I made the decision when I was diagnosed in 2022 with Hodgkin lymphoma that I wasn't going to let that define my life and dictate how I was going to go about my life."
"He was almost crying on the field just now. If you read his story, it's pretty inspirational."
Enright has a 2.01 ERA in 19 appearances for the Guardians, whose bullpen is in flux with All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase on paid leave.
After four rounds of immunotherapy in early 2023, Enright made nine minor league rehab appearances for the Marlins before being designated for assignment.
