Blue Jays announce season ending injury for another pitcher

The move showed up on Toronto's affiliate transaction page, where Buffalo placed Enright on the full-season IL on April 27. That is the headline, and for a club that keeps patching together pitching depth, it is not a small one.

Enright is not just another minor-league arm on a long list. He is 29, already has MLB time, and his player page shows he debuted in the majors in 2025.

That matters because depth arms with actual big-league experience tend to matter fast once a season starts throwing injuries around. Toronto has already been cycling pitchers between the majors and Buffalo all month.

The timing of Enright's move makes that even clearer. On the same transaction log, the Blue Jays had just recalled Chase Lee from Buffalo, thinning that upper-level relief group even more.

So while this is not a Rogers Centre headline, it is a real system hit. A full-season injured list move usually means a much heavier absence than the day-to-day bumps clubs can work around.

Enright also brings a profile worth keeping around when healthy. MLB lists him at 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, a right-hander drafted by Cleveland in the 20th round in 2019 out of Virginia Tech.

This is where the move lands harder for the Blue Jays. Enright's MLB page shows he posted a 2.03 ERA over 27 major-league appearances in 2025, with 30 strikeouts across 31 innings.

That is the kind of recent track record teams like to stash at Triple-A. A reliever who has already proven he can survive in the majors is useful even when he is not on the 40-man radar every day.

There is also some perspective in Enright's recent story. MLB.com reported last year that he reached the majors after battling cancer, which made his climb back to a big-league mound one of the better comeback stories in the sport.

That does not change the roster math, but it does add weight to the setback. Enright had already fought his way through bigger things than a routine minor-league transaction line.

Toronto now has to adjust around that loss in Buffalo. The organization has been leaning hard on shuttle arms, rehab assignments, and depth signings, so taking another experienced reliever off the board matters even if the move happens out of sight for most fans.

For now, the Blue Jays have not publicly detailed the injury on the transaction page. What they have shown is that Nic Enright is down, Buffalo loses an experienced arm, and Toronto's pitching depth takes another quiet hit.
