Cade Povich Officially Called Up to Start Against Yankees on Friday
The Baltimore Orioles announced on Friday that they recalled left-hander Cade Povich from Triple-A Norfolk and optioned right-hander Cameron Foster to Norfolk in a corresponding move. Povich is slated to start in Friday's series opener in the Bronx against the division-rival New York Yankees. The 26-year-old southpaw will temporarily fill in for the Orioles in place of left-hander Trevor Rogers (illness), but if he pitches well, the O's could be forced to find a permanent spot for Povich in the rotation. The former third-round pick of the Minnesota Twins in 2021 looked good in two outings (one start) for Baltimore already this year, giving up three earned runs on nine hits (one homer) while walking three and striking out seven in 12 1/3 innings. Povich doesn't have a high-end arsenal as a starter, but he's had a 30% strikeout rate in the minors and should at least deserve some attention off the waiver wire in deeper fantasy leagues. Unfortunately, his matchup on Friday for his second start of 2026 is not one we would recommend as a streamer in the Bronx.
