What happened: MLB Network will announce the 2026 Cy Young and Reliever of the Year award winners on Wednesday evening. Ahead of the broadcast, Nightengale projected Cam Schlittler of the Yankees and Jacob Misiorowski of the Brewers to win the American and National League Cy Young awards. The forecast also tabbed Louis Varland of the Blue Jays and Mason Miller of the Padres to take home the respective Reliever of the Year honors.

Why it matters: Both starting pitchers contend for their first major hardware after MLB Network weighed Schlittler and Misiorowski for the honors late in the season. Securing the awards would cap breakthrough campaigns for each pitcher as their clubs look ahead to the 2027 season.

What to watch: The official award announcements air tonight at 7 p.m. ET on MLB Network.
