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.

Twins' Blayne Enlow: Bouncing back at Double-A
Rotowire
Enlow has a 3.28 ERA and 47:10 K:BB in 35.2 innings at Double-A Wichita.
Enlow was a former top prospect who had Tommy John surgery in June 2021 and his rehab extended into the 2022 season. He struggled when he returned with a 4.20 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 4.9 BB/9 at Double-A and was removed from the 40-man roster in the offseason. He's turned his career around in his second full season back from Tommy John surgery and could be promoted to Triple-A soon.

Rotowire
Enlow was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Twins on Tuesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Enlow spent almost all of last season with Double-A Wichita, recording a 4.20 ERA and 1.58 WHIP through 60 frames. The 23-year-old righty will likely return to Wichita to begin 2023, with a chance to reach Triple-A by the end of the season.

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.

Twins' Blayne Enlow: Added to 40-man roster
Rotowire
Enlow (elbow) had his contract selected by the Twins on Friday.
Enlow made three starts at High-A Cedar Rapids to begin the 2021 campaign but exhibited decreased velocity in late May and underwent Tommy John surgery in early June. He'll miss the start of the 2022 campaign following his procedure, but he'll be protected from the Rule 5 draft after he was added to the 40-man roster.

Twins' Blayne Enlow: Improves in third start
Rotowire
Enlow gave up two runs (one earned) over six innings with six strikeouts and three walks in Tuesday's win for Low-A Cedar Rapids. He reached 95-96 mph with his fastball, Jeff Johnson of the Cedar Rapids Gazette reports.
Enlow had been off to a rough start by allowing seven earned runs over seven innings in his first two starts. Enlow, a 2017 third-round draft pick who received first-round money, had a mediocre full-season debut last year. Despite a 3.26 ERA, he had just a 6.8 K/9 and 3.4 BB/9. However, his increase in velocity is notable if it continues as his fastball before sat in the 89-92 mph range.
