Yennier Cano Bounces Back With Resurgent Season for Orioles

Baltimore Orioles reliever Yennier Cano rebounded strongly in 2026 following a brutal 2025 campaign, earning a contract extension covering his final arbitration years and a 2029 club option. Supported by a 62% ground ball rate and a career-low 6.4% walk rate, Cano posted a 2.90 ERA across 68 games. Thriving primarily in the seventh and eighth innings while avoiding high-leverage ninth-inning duty, Cano re-established himself as a core late-inning setup piece for the Orioles' bullpen.
