Enns is listed as the starting pitcher for the finale of the Tigers’ three-game series this week in Washington against the Nationals. Right-hander Jack Flaherty will start the opener on Tuesday, while Wednesday’s game remains officially listed as “TBD.”

Central Michigan alumnus Dietrich Enns spent 2,877 days waiting for another MLB start and 1,371 days waiting for another MLB game, including the past three years pitching in Asia.

The lefthander threw five scoreless innings while allowing only one single and two walks in a start for the Tigers on Thursday in an 8-0 win over the Athletics.
