Yennier Cano Emerging as Top High-Leverage Reliever to Stash in Baltimore Bullpen?
Across 26 innings (35 games) in 2026, Baltimore Orioles right-hander Yennier Cano has pitched to a 2.08 ERA and 0.81 WHIP with 25 strikeouts and one save. The 32-year-old has largely been utilized in a setup role this season, which is the role he's been most effective in throughout his career to this point. However, Cano picked up his first save of 2026 on Saturday, which could be an indication that Baltimore may start to rely on him in the ninth inning. Orioles closer Ryan Helsley returned to the big leagues last week after missing nearly two months with an elbow injury, but has struggled upon his return, allowing three home runs and four earned runs across 1 2/3 innings. Cano has recorded 16 saves for the Orioles over the past four seasons, so the team has some level of comfort with deploying him as a closer. In deeper leagues, fantasy managers may want to consider stashing Cano off the waiver wire.
