Enlow went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment a couple of weeks ago.

The twenty-three-year-old was once considered one of the top prospects in the Twins' organization, but injuries have prevented his development. It comes as a bit of a surprise that no team believed they could rekindle some of his previous potential.

Last season, in the minors, Enlow posted a 4.73 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, with 65 strikeouts over 59 innings of work. He made 14 relief appearances, started 11 games, converted three saves and held a 1-3 record. 

He is a former third-round pick by the Twins in the 2017 MLB Draft.
