Yennier Cano - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Agrees to terms for 2026 Cano and the Orioles agreed to a one-year, $1.6 million contract to avoid arbitration Thursday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact 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. This was his first year of arbitration eligibility.

Implodes Saturday Cano (3-7) took the loss and blew a save opportunity against the Blue Jays on Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits while recording just one out.

Impact With Baltimore up 4-2 in the ninth inning, Keegan Akin got the first stab at notching a save. He gave up two one-out singles and was subsequently relieved by Cano, who quickly gave up a pair of singles that plated a pair of runs to tie the score. The only out Cano recorded came on a sacrifice fly by Alejandro Kirk that brought home the winning run for Toronto. Cano came into Saturday having allowed just one run over his previous eight appearances, but he's now blown five of his seven save chances on the campaign.

Grabs second save Cano earned the save in Wednesday's 7-5 win over San Diego, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

Impact Cano was sharp Wednesday, striking out a pair to lock down his second save this season, his first since July 5. The 31-year-old Cano has pitched better of late, allowing just one run in his last six appearances (5.2 innings) to reclaim a high-leverage role in Baltimore's bullpen. Overall, his ERA sits at 5.07 with a 1.45 WHIP and 47:22 K:BB across 49.2 innings this season.

Looking to get on track Cano threw 1.1 scoreless innings of relief Sunday against the Giants, allowing one hit and one walk with no strikeouts.

Impact Although Cano has turned in four scoreless appearances over his last six, his last clean outing was back on Aug. 2 versus the Cubs. Given the 31-year-old right-hander's struggles -- Cano has a 6.46 ERA and 1.62 WHIP since the start of May -- Keegan Akin likely remains the favorite for saves for the last-place Orioles.

Implodes in sixth loss Cano (1-6) was charged with the loss in Wednesday's 9-8 defeat to the Blue Jays, allowing five runs on four hits and no walks with no strikeouts in two-thirds of an inning.

Impact The five runs allowed were a season high for Cano, who served up a home run for the first time since his June 18 outing in Tampa Bay. Although closer Felix Bautista (shoulder) is on the shelf and Seranthony Dominguez has been traded away, Wednesday's showing doesn't bode well for the possibility of Cano receiving future save opportunities. Since the start of May, Cano has a dreadful 7.22 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 30:13 K:BB covering 28.2 innings.

Registers 13th hold Sunday Cano threw a clean seventh inning in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Rays. He struck out one.

Impact Cano tallied his 13th hold of the campaign, and he bounced back after surrendering three runs his last time out versus Miami. Although the 31-year-old right-hander has a shaky 4.54 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 33.2 innings, he does have a respectable 37:11 K:BB while working mostly as a setup man for closer Felix Bautista this season.

Back in big-league bullpen The Orioles recalled Cano from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

Impact Cano's stint back in the minors was brief, with the reliever allowing one run with two strikeouts over two innings of work for the Tides. He's posted a 4.73 ERA with the Orioles this season, though that's come with a much more promising 31:8 K:BB over 26.2 innings. Cano had been demoted to a low-leverage relief role before being sent down, and he'll likely return to that role for now.

Dispatched to Triple-A The Orioles optioned Cano to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

Impact An All-Star in 2023, Cano took a step back statistically in 2024 and has continued to see his performance trend downward in 2025. Though he's still tied for second on the team with 11 holds, Cano had been working mostly in middle relief since the beginning of June and owned underwhelming ratios (4.73 ERA, 1.39 WHIP) over 30 appearances. After seeing action Friday and Saturday, Cano was unlikely to be available for another day or two, so the Orioles elected to send him to Triple-A in favor of a fresh relief arm in right-hander Yaramil Hiraldo.

Turns in another scoreless outing Cano threw a scoreless ninth inning in Sunday's 11-2 win over the Angels, walking one and fanning one.

Impact Cano has put together a strong start to the month of June, delivering five scoreless outings so far. The right-hander has been a reliable setup man for the Orioles of late, posting a 1.13 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 11:1 K:BB over his last eight innings (10 games), but he remains unlikely to see many save chances while closer Felix Bautista is healthy.
