Rotowire
Enlow signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Friday and received an invitation to major-league spring training.
Enlow was hit around quite a bit after reaching Triple-A last season, putting up a 7.94 ERA and 1.60 WHIP through 45.1 innings. He will likely begin the season at Triple-A Sacramento and will need to show drastic improvement before being considered for the Giants' staff.

Rotowire
Enlow has a 3.28 ERA and 47:10 K:BB in 35.2 innings at Double-A Wichita.

Twins' Blayne Enlow: Outrighted off roster
Rotowire
Enlow cleared waivers and was outrighted to Double-A Wichita by the Twins on Friday.
Enlow lost his spot on the 40-man roster after holding a disappointing 4.20 ERA for Wichita in 2022. The Twins are glad to keep him around in the organization, though, as it wasn't long ago that he was viewed as one of their better pitching prospects.

Twins' Blayne Enlow: Issuing free passes at Double-A
Rotowire
Enlow (elbow) has turned in a 4.70 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 35:19 K:BB in 30.2 innings over his nine appearances (seven starts) for Double-A Wichita since returning from the 7-day injured list May 14.
Enlow missed the first month of the 2022 campaign while rehabbing from the Tommy John procedure he required in early June of 2021. Though he made a remarkably quick recovery from surgery, Enlow has perhaps unsurprisingly struggled with his control in his initial outings with Wichita. His 12.8 percent walk rate is his worst mark over his five minor-league seasons.

Twins' Blayne Enlow: Opening year at Double-A
Rotowire
The Twins optioned Enlow (elbow) to Double-A Wichita on Wednesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Though Enlow was in attendance for the Twins' big-league camp, he was limited to rehab work while he continues to recover from the Tommy John procedure he underwent last June. If the 23-year-old righty is cleared to pitch in 2022, it likely won't happen until the second half of the season, and he'll presumably have to head out on an extended rehab assignment in the lower levels of the minors. Once he's fully built up his pitch count, however, Enlow looks like he'll be part of the Double-A rotation after he finished the 2021 campaign at High-A Cedar Rapids.

Rotowire
Enlow (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery, Twins Daily reports.
Enlow struck out a career-high 10 batters in his most recent start against High-A Beloit on May 18, but he threw a bullpen session several days later and displayed decreased velocity.
