2026 Fantasy Outlook
Cano turned in the worst season of his career in 2025, posting a 5.12 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with only 53 strikeouts across 58 innings. Nevertheless, he still got plenty of high-leverage usage and racked up 17 holds, but he'll likely need to get back on track to maintain that role in 2026. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $1.6 million contract with the Orioles in January of 2026.
Cleans up mess for save
Cano allowed a hit and struck out one while walking none over two-thirds of a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers.
Analysis
Baltimore didn't want to go back to Ryan Helsley after the closer took a blown save Friday in just his second appearance returning from elbow inflammation. Andrew Kittredge was initially given the save opportunity, but he allowed a solo home run to Shohei Ohtani and then put Freddie Freeman aboard with a walk. Cano was next in line, and while he allowed a single and an error to let an inherited runner score, he was able to keep the lead for his first save of the season. He has been charged with just one unearned run over 6.1 innings in June, adding a 9:1 K:BB and two holds over nine outings. He's at a 2.08 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 25:5 K:BB through 26 innings with one save and six holds overall this year. Cano has also allowed only four of 20 inherited runners to score, an improvement on last year when he permitted 10 of 21 inherited runners to score.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Cano was once again among the league leaders in the holds category, racking up 34 (T-3rd) for the Orioles. The 31-year-old righty managed to improve his strikeout rate by 3.1 percentage points, bringing it to a solid 26.1 percent overall, but issued more free passes with a 9.6 percent walk rate (27th percentile). The latter marked a five percent increase over 2023, during which it was a 96th percentile metric. Cano's 96 mph sinker still produced one of the highest groundball rates among relievers at 62.9 percent, making his profile one that is certainly capable of closing. If Baltimore eases Felix Bautista back into the closer role, Cano could benefit with additional save opportunities. Double-digit saves are possible in 2025, but don't count on more than 10-to-15 unless Bautista has any setbacks in his recovery.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Candidate for summer move
Cano is one of several relief pitchers the Orioles might make available for trade before the deadline, Jim Bowden of The Athletic speculates.
Analysis
The Orioles have had a disappointing season in 2025, and it wouldn't be surprising to see some of their relief arms being involved in trade talks over the upcoming weeks. Cano's 4.50 ERA and 1.30 WHIP aren't impressive and would be his worst numbers of the past three seasons, but he might generate some trade interest as a power arm out of the bullpen.
