Fantasy Impact: After his 2023 campaign in which he was named an All-Star, Cano's numbers have been on a steady decline the past two seasons. Cano pitched to a 2.11 ERA in 2023, but posted a 3.15 ERA in 2024 and a 5.12 ERA last season. All told, in parts of four seasons with the Twins and Orioles, he sports a 4.05 ERA across 208.2 career innings. Given his struggles last season, Cano may work in low-leverage situations to start the 2026 season.

Fantasy Impact: Baz, who was acquired from the Rays in a trade last month, has spent his entire major league career pitching for Tampa Bay. The 26-year-old made a career-high 31 starts last season and went 10-12 with a 4.87 ERA in 166.1 innings. In parts of four seasons, Baz is 17-17 with a 4.25 ERA in 286 career innings. The righthander should be one of Baltimore's top three starters in the rotation to start the 2026 season.
