The issue required IV antibiotics at a Pittsburgh hospital, manager Craig Albernaz told reporters, including <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/afkostka\/status\/2041277067535237254?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\">Andy Kostka of the Baltimore Banner<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s crazy,\u201d Albernaz said. \u201cI\u2019m not sure what happened. But his foot is pretty gnarly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Right-hander <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/y\/youngbr01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-04-06_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Brandon Young<\/a> was recalled to take Enns\u2019 spot on the roster. He\u2019ll draw the start tonight against the White Sox. Baltimore needed another starter after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/e\/eflinza01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-04-06_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Zach Eflin<\/a> went to the IL with an elbow injury. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/p\/povicca01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-04-06_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Cade Povich<\/a> was also recalled recently. He was a candidate to draw the start on Monday, but ended up tossing 5 2\/3 innings in relief of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bassich01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-04-06_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Chris Bassitt<\/a> yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>Enns returned stateside last season after three seasons pitching in Asia. He stumbled to a 5.60 ERA in seven appearances with the Tigers. Detroit shipped him to Baltimore for cash at the trade deadline. Enns emerged as a meaningful part of the Orioles\u2019 bullpen over the final two months of the season. The veteran tossed 28 2\/3 innings with a 3.14 ERA and a 27.6% strikeout rate. He also earned a pair of saves.<\/p>\n<p>The Orioles had a $3MM club option on Enns for 2026. Instead of exercising the option, the team worked out a new one-year contract with the lefty. He\u2019s making $2.5MM this season. The reworked deal includes a $3.5MM club option for 2027, with a $125K buyout.<\/p>\n<p>Young made his debut in 2025. He posted an ERA above 6.00 across a dozen starts, though his xFIP (4.52) and SIERA (4.67) suggested he deserved better results. Young, Povich, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/suareal01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-04-06_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Albert Suarez<\/a> will have a chance to secure the No. 5 spot in the rotation with Eflin potentially facing an extended absence. The righty is getting a second opinion on his injured elbow from orthopedic surgeon Keith Meister.<\/p>\n<p>Photo courtesy of Daniel Kucin Jr., Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Orioles placed left-hander Dietrich Enns on the injured list with an infected left foot, per a team&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":667287,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2290],"tags":[5,796,12018],"class_list":{"0":"post-667286","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-baseball","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-brandon-young","10":"tag-dietrich-enns"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116360421306181794","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/667286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=667286"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/667286\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/667287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=667286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=667286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=667286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
