2024 Fantasy Outlook
Acquired by the Orioles in the 2022 Jorge Lopez trade, Cano's rookie season was a resounding success. The right-hander didn't break camp with Baltimore, but was recalled in mid-April and didn't allow a hit or walk across his first 9 appearances. Even better, he didn't allow a run until May 19, parlaying his early-season dominance into a high-leverage setup role and All-Star nomination. Cano leveraged his sinker (55.7% usage) to produce a 58.9% groundball percentage, but he didn't strike many batters out (23% K%). However, his 4.6% walk rate was in the 96th percentile, while his ratios were in the top-15 among qualified relievers. Cano tied for the league lead with 31 holds, but also added 8 saves. Those expecting him to take over closing duties for Baltimore in 2024 should note Cano only recorded 4 of the Orioles' 9 saves after Felix Bautista's season-ending injury. He's still likely to receive save chances, but the team may be looking to add a short-term option for closing duties. Read Past Outlooks
Taking it slow in spring
Cano has yet to make his Grapefruit League debut, but the Orioles are taking a slow approach with the right-hander, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Cano has done side sessions and will continue to do so for a few more days. Manager Brandon Hyde explained that Cano's heavy workload last season -- 72.2 innings -- has played a part in taking it slow with the reliever. Craig Kimbrel is expected to close games for the Orioles in 2024, but Cano is the next man up in the bullpen should Kimbrel get hurt or pitch poorly.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Sudden dominance
Cano has thrown seven perfect innings for Baltimore this season, with his arsenal catching the attention of Fangraphs' Ben Clemens.
ANALYSIS
Cano recorded an 11.50 ERA across 18 innings last season in his debut campaign, but an offseason with Baltimore has yielded dominant results thus far in 2023. The sample size is small, but Cano appears on track to spell Felix Bautista for the occasional save opportunity if he continues pitching well. He's already worked his way into the high-leverage mix with one save and three holds.
