Baltimore Orioles Activate Pitcher Dietrich Enns After Foot Infection Recovery

Baltimore Orioles left-handed pitcher Dietrich Enns returned to active duty Saturday as the team activated him from the 15-day injured list following his recovery from a foot infection.

The Orioles made multiple roster adjustments on Saturday, bringing up left-hander Nick Raquet from their Triple-A Norfolk affiliate while sending right-hander Tyler Wells down to Norfolk. The team also placed right-hander Albert Suarez on waivers.

The 34-year-old Enns was sidelined on April 6 due to an infection in his left foot. Prior to his injury, he appeared in three relief outings without recording a win or loss, posting a 4.15 earned run average.

Raquet, age 30, struggled during his previous stint with Baltimore last month, surrendering three earned runs on three hits over 1 2/3 innings across two bullpen appearances for a 16.20 ERA.

Wells, 31, compiled an 0-1 record with a 3.44 ERA through 14 relief appearances this season. The pitcher recorded 18 strikeouts against four walks in 18 1/3 innings of work.

The 36-year-old Suarez holds a 1-0 record with a 3.45 ERA and one save through six relief outings. However, he has issued seven walks in his most recent 6 2/3 innings, including four free passes during Friday’s 7-2 defeat to the New York Yankees on the road.
