Nic Enright Diagnosed With Hodgkin's Lymphoma
2 years agoMiami Marlins right-hander Nic Enright was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin's lymphoma in late December, 12 days after he was taken by the Marlins in the Rule 5 draft. The 26-year-old has developed a plan of attack and has avoided chemotherapy. Instead a port was put into his chest in December and he underwent a round of immunotherapy every Thursday for four weeks. His final cycle was on Feb. 9, but he'll begin another round of treatments around July 10. Enright has no physical limitations for this spring, but he's a bit behind schedule at camp because he couldn't throw for a month. The Marlins plan to take it easy on the young reliever, who had a strong 2.88 ERA in 65 2/3 innings between Double-A Akron and Triple-A Columbus last year in the Cleveland Guardians organization.
