News
	Cade Smith needed just nine pitches to record a save in Friday's 3-2 win over the Marlins, allowing no hits or walks with no strikeouts. Matthew Adam Sat, Jul 11th	Sean Manaea took the loss Monday against the Blue Jays after allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four and finished one out shy of recording his second quality start of the season. Bruno Mulé Tue, Jun 30th
	Cade Smith struck out two batters in a scoreless frame to earn the save in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Twins. Matthew Adam Fri, Jul 10th	Sean Manaea did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Cubs after allowing four runs, three earned, on six hits and two walks over three innings. He struck out four and generated 10 swinging strikes. Manaea allowed consecutive doubles to begin the second inning before five straight batters reached in the fourth, with two Mets infield errors contributing to his early exit. Bruno Mulé Thu, Jun 25th
	Cade Smith threw 16 pitches over one scoreless inning in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the White Sox. Matthew Adam Mon, Jul 6th	Sean Manaea will start one of the two games in Wednesday's doubleheader. Ari Koslow Mon, Jun 22nd
	Cade Smith struck out one batter while allowing two hits over a scoreless frame to earn the save in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Mariners. Matthew Adam Mon, Jun 29th	Sean Manaea did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Phillies, allowing three runs, two earned, on six hits and one walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out five while throwing 63 of his 95 pitches for strikes and generating 16 whiffs. Philadelphia scored in the first, third, and fourth innings, with the final run coming home after a throwing error by AJ Ewing. Bruno Mulé Fri, Jun 19th

Matthew Adam Sun, Jun 28th	Sean Manaea allowed two earned runs on four hits while striking out six over six innings in Saturday's loss to the Braves. Chris Schommer Sun, Jun 14th
Notes
	Cade Smith has quickly emerged as one of baseball's most dominant late-inning arms. His bat-missing ability has remained consistent across both seasons, posting a 35.1% strikeout rate over his first 149 MLB innings with excellent control (6.1% BB%). While his ERA rose to 2.93 in 2025 as his fly-ball rate and HR% ticked up slightly, the underlying profile still supports high-end relief production. The 2026 projections forecast roughly 30 saves, 91 strikeouts, and a 3.05 ERA across 71 innings as Cleveland's primary closer in the top tier of relievers. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
	I know Mason Miller is THE relief pitcher household name these days, but Cade Smith could be joining that conversation after this year. In his only two seasons in the big leagues, Smith has posted 12+ K/9s and sub 2 FIPs in each season, making him as reliable and excellent as any reliever in the game.
