Enlow (elbow) had his contract selected by the Twins on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Enlow made three starts at High-A Cedar Rapids to begin the 2021 campaign but exhibited decreased velocity in late May and underwent Tommy John surgery in early June. He'll miss the start of the 2022 campaign following his procedure, but he'll be protected from the Rule 5 draft after he was added to the 40-man roster.

Enlow (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery, Twins Daily reports.
EDGE Analysis
Enlow struck out a career-high 10 batters in his most recent start against High-A Beloit on May 18, but he threw a bullpen session several days later and displayed decreased velocity. The right-hander was shut down after his bullpen session, and he had further imaging that revealed a torn UCL. Enlow will miss the remainder of the 2021 season after opting to undergo surgery, and he'll likely be out to begin the 2022 campaign.

Enlow gave up two runs (one earned) over six innings with six strikeouts and three walks in Tuesday's win for Low-A Cedar Rapids. He reached 95-96 mph with his fastball, Jeff Johnson of the Cedar Rapids Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Enlow had been off to a rough start by allowing seven earned runs over seven innings in his first two starts. Enlow, a 2017 third-round draft pick who received first-round money, had a mediocre full-season debut last year. Despite a 3.26 ERA, he had just a 6.8 K/9 and 3.4 BB/9. However, his increase in velocity is notable if it continues as his fastball before sat in the 89-92 mph range.
