Joey Cantillo - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Tosses five innings in win Cantillo (5-3) earned the win Saturday against the Tigers after tossing five innings of one-run ball. He gave up six hits while striking out four.

Impact Cantillo allowed the Tigers' lone run of the game following an RBI single from Dillon Dingler in the first inning, but he settled down afterwards and ultimately earned the win. One of the most positive aspects for Cantillo in this outing is the fact that he didn't issue a single walk for the first time this season, and he also snapped a run of three straight outings giving up four or more earned runs. Cantillo, who owns a 4.38 ERA across 72 innings this season, is set to make his next start on the road against the Astros.

Tagged for seven runs vs. Texas Cantillo (4-3) took the loss Sunday against Texas, surrendering seven runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out seven across five innings.

Impact Three home runs in five innings did Cantillo in, negating an otherwise solid seven-strikeout effort. He has now allowed at least four runs in four of his last five starts. His walk rate has been a concern all season, sitting at 4.84 BB/9, and the combination of free passes and elevated contact is a dangerous cocktail against a lineup with legitimate power. Cantillo now owns a 4.57 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 63:36 K:BB across 67 innings and is set to face Detroit at home next weekend.

No-decision against Bronx Bombers Cantillo did not factor into Tuesday's win over the Yankees, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four across four innings.

Impact Cantillo failed to pitch into the fifth inning for a second consecutive start, with all four of the runs he gave up coming off the bat of Paul Goldschmidt. Cantillo ended up tossing 58 strikes on 91 pitches while generating 11 whiffs, though he logged just nine first-pitch strikes across the 21 batters he faced. He's given up four earned runs in three of his last four starts, which has him at a 3.92 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 62 innings this season. Cantillo is lined up to face the Rangers on the road this weekend.

Gets early hook Tuesday Cantillo (4-2) took the loss Tuesday as the Guardians fell 6-3 to the Nationals, coughing up four runs on three hits and four walks over two innings. He struck out one.

Impact The left-hander had trouble finding the plate once again, adding two wild pitches to his ledger in addition to tying his season high in walks. When Cantillo did get the ball into the strike zone, bad things tended to happen, highlighted by a two-run homer from James Wood. Cantillo has issued at least three free passes in five of six May outings, managing a 4.23 ERA on the month despite a 1.48 WHIP and 18:18 K:BB in 27.2 innings. He'll try to turn things around in June, with his next trip to the mound set to come on the road early next week against the Yankees.

No-decision against Cincinnati Cantillo did not factor into the decision of Saturday's game against the Reds. He allowed four runs on four hits and four walks while striking out four across five innings.

Impact Cantillo yielded a solo home run to Dane Myers in the third inning before giving up another three runs in the fifth, two of which were courtesy of a bases-loaded double by Spencer Steer. Luckily for Cantillo, he avoided the loss after the Guardians rallied to score five runs from the sixth to eighth innings. It was the second time this season that the 26-year-old southpaw gave up four runs in a start, and he now sits at a 3.40 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 45:24 K:BB across 50.1 innings. Cantillo's next start is slated for next week against the Tigers in Detroit.

Silences Halos in victory Cantillo (3-1) earned the win over the Angels on Monday, allowing five hits and issuing no walks while striking out four batters over six scoreless innings.

Impact Three of the five hits Cantillo allowed came in the sixth frame, but he managed to escape that inning without a run on his ledger. The southpaw threw 63 of 93 pitches for strikes and got 14 whiffs while notching his second quality start of the campaign. Cantillo has now surrendered two or fewer runs in in seven of his nine starts, though this was the first time he's held an opponent scoreless in an outing. He's been a solid fantasy asset, posting a 2.98 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 41:20 K:BB through 45.1 innings.

Earns second win of 2026 Cantillo (2-1) earned the win against the Royals on Wednesday, allowing one run on three hits and three walks while striking out one batter across five innings.

Impact Cantillo found himself in trouble both in the second and third innings, but he managed to limit the damage to one run on a Salvador Perez sacrifice fly in the third. It was by no means a blistering performance out of Cantillo, but it was fourth time this season that he gave up just one run (in eight starts). He'll bring a 3.43 ERA and 1.37 WHIP (across 39.1 innings) into his next start, which is slated for next week at home against the Angels.
