2025 Projections
Bound for Asia
The Rays will place Enns on waivers Wednesday with the aim of granting him his unconditional release to pursue playing opportunities in Asia, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Enns will have to clear waivers before he's officially granted his release Friday, but the expectation is that he'll go unclaimed since he seemingly already has an agreement in place with a team in Korea, Japan or Taiwan. The 30-year-old lefty likely would have been worthy of a 40-man roster spot with the Rays or another organization after submitting a 2.82 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB across 22.1 innings with Tampa Bay this past season, but since he's not arbitration eligible until 2024 and not scheduled to hit free agency until 2027, Enns will be able to secure a more lucrative deal by heading overseas for his prime earnings years.

2017 Fantasy Outlook
Enns was impressive for the Yankees both at Double-A and Triple-A in 2016, earning a spot on the 40-man roster this offseason. The 24-year-old's performance only improved after he was promoted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, as Enns would go on to post an impressive 1.52 ERA in 65 innings with the top affiliate. However, while Enns' ERA went down from Double- to Triple-A, so did his K/9, which dipped from 9.5 to 6.9. Much of his success in 2016 can be attributed to his ability to keep the ball in the park -- he had HR/9 rates of 0.39 and 0.42 in Double-A and Triple-A, respectively, despite just a 0.71 GB/FB overall. Enns will likely begin 2017 back in Triple-A as he looks to continue proving himself against advanced competition, but he could get a look as a spot-starter or if there are several injuries in the big-league rotation.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Entering starting rotation
Enns is replacing Chris Archer (hip) in the rotation and will likely start Thursday against the Tigers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
The lefty has made six relief appearances this season, posting a 3.38 ERA and 19:5 K:BB in 16 innings. Enns has started 11 games for Triple-A Durham, so the new role won't be entirely unfamiliar. It's unclear at this time how long Archer will be sidelined, but Enns should occupy the fifth rotation spot until Archer returns, as long as he pitches well enough.
