Cade Povich Navigates Up-And-Down 2026 Season With Orioles

Left-hander Cade Povich endured a turbulent 2026 season, bouncing between the Baltimore Orioles and Triple-A Norfolk. Failing to crack the Opening Day rotation, he made five stints in the majors across eight games, pitching 37 innings with a 4.38 ERA and 28 strikeouts while allowing six home runs. Hampered by forearm soreness and struggles with the long ball in Triple-A, Povich projects to continue serving in a depth and emergency role entering 2027.
