Summary
- Nic Enright, 28, to undergo Tommy John surgery after injury in September
- David Fry, 29, set for surgery on fractured nose and deviated septum
- Enright made MLB debut in May, went 2-1 with 2.03 ERA in 27 relief appearances
According to the latest reports, the Cleveland Guardians have suffered a significant setback as right-handed pitcher Nic Enright is set to undergo Tommy John surgery. The 28-year-old Enright had a promising rookie season, making his MLB debut on May 25 and going 2-1 with a 2.03 ERA in 27 relief appearances before being shut down in September due to right elbow/forearm inflammation.
In a separate development, the Guardians also announced that designated hitter David Fry, 29, will undergo surgery for a fractured nose and deviated septum. Fry was hit in the face by a pitch from the Detroit Tigers' Tarik Skubal on September 23, and the team had initially hoped he could avoid surgery.
These injuries come as a blow to the Guardians, who were in the midst of a playoff push. Enright's Tommy John surgery will likely keep him out for the majority of the 2024 season, while Fry's recovery timeline remains uncertain. The team will need to navigate these setbacks as they look to maintain their position in the postseason race.
