"It's not the first time the Blue Jays have signed a player who isn't available in the same season they signed them. Chad Green being an example of that in which he signed ahead of the 2023 season while also recovering from Tommy John surgery. He spent most of the 2023 campaign on the shelf and had options built into his contract in which he could exercise to play in '25 and even '26."
"Enright, 28, not only comes with a track record that suggests he could be valuable at the big league level, but his comeback story will be one that is easy to cheer for. It's not the first time Enright has had to overcome the odds to get back to the big leagues. In 2022, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, but managed to make it back to playing pro-ball in"
The Toronto Blue Jays signed right-handed pitcher Nic Enright to a two-year minor-league deal, aiming for him to pitch for the big-league club in 2027. Enright, 28, will spend 2026 rehabbing from Tommy John surgery and recovering before attempting a comeback. Enright beat Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2022 and produced a 2.03 ERA in 31 innings with the Guardians in 2025. The signing follows precedent of adding injured pitchers with future timelines. Enright combines demonstrable recent performance with a notable personal comeback narrative that could yield high upside if he returns healthy.
