| Jun 28 2025 | Cecconi allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five batters over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cecconi served up a leadoff homer to Brendan Donovan in the first inning but then settled down and held a 6-1 lead entering the fifth. The right-hander got two quick outs in that frame, but he then gave up a walk, a double and a two-run single and was subsequently given the hook. It was just the second time in eight starts this season that Cecconi hasn't completed five innings, and the outing marked the first time through five appearances in June that he's given up more than two earned runs. The 26-year-old missed the first part of the season due to an oblique strain, but he's been fairly effective since making his season debut May 17, posting a 3.64 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with a 42:14 K:BB over 42 frames. |

| Jun 22 2025 | Cecconi (3-3) earned the win Sunday against the Athletics, allowing six hits and one walk over seven shutout innings with three strikeouts. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Cleveland right-hander scattered six singles en route to his second consecutive win, as he stymied the Athletics lineup in a difficult road park. With this performance, Cecconi lowered his season ERA from 4.15 to 3.38 across 37.1 total frames. The former Diamondback has found a groove in June, pitching to a fantastic 2.05 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB over 22 innings. Cecconi is currently scheduled to make his next start against the Cardinals at home next weekend. |

| Jun 17 2025 | Cecconi (2-3) allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings to earn the win Tuesday versus the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cecconi continues to be a fine fifth starter for the Guardians, though the results hadn't been going his way prior to Tuesday. He still didn't get much run support, but Gabriel Arias' go-ahead solo shot for Cleveland in the sixth inning was enough for Cecconi to get the win. He's covered five innings in all three of his starts in June, allowing a total of five runs with a 17:6 K:BB across 15 innings in that span. He's now at a 4.15 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 34:11 K:BB through 30.1 innings over six starts this season. The right-hander's next start is projected to be on the road versus the Athletics this weekend. |

| Jun 11 2025 | Cecconi (1-3) took the loss Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over five innings as the Guardians fell 1-0 to the Reds. He struck out eight. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The eight Ks tied his season high, but Cecconi simply got outdueled by Andrew Abbott, who tossed his first career shutout. Cecconi also avoided serving up a homer for the first time in five starts, and while he still needs to tighten up his efficiency -- he's lasted longer than five innings only once since joining the rotation -- the right-hander sports a respectable 4.26 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 28:8 K:BB through his first 25.1 innings for Cleveland. He'll hope for a little more run support in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in San Francisco. |

| Jun 5 2025 | Cecconi (1-2) took the loss Thursday against the Yankees, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks across five innings. He struck out three. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cecconi got no run support in the loss, as the Yankees' pitching staff shut the Guardians out. Still, it was a decent outing for the 26-year-old, especially considering he allowed five runs and three homers in his most recent start. In four appearances this season, Cecconi has a 4.87 ERA and a 20:7 K:BB across 20.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Reds for his next start. |
|
| May 31 2025 | Cecconi did not factor into the decision in Saturday's game against the Angels. He allowed five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out three across 4.1 innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cecconi kept things scoreless through the first two innings before giving up five runs over the next three frames, including three home runs to Yoan Moncada, Taylor Ward and Jo Adell. It's the most runs Cecconi has given up across three starts this season, but he was able to avoid the loss as the Guardians' batters came alive from the fifth frame onward. Cecconi has a 5.28 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 17:5 K:BB across 15.1 innings this season. He's slated to face the Astros at home next weekend. |

| May 28 2025 | Cecconi (groin) is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Angels, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was scratched from his start Wednesday against the Dodgers due to mild groin tightness, but his outing will only end up being pushed back a few days. The injury results in a more favorable matchup for Cecconi, who has a 3.27 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB in his first two starts after opening the season on the injured list due to an oblique strain. |
|
| May 27 2025 | Cecconi won't start as scheduled Wednesday against the Dodgers due to mild groin tightness, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's not believed to be a serious injury, but the Cecconi will be pushed back from making his third start of the season Wednesday. The Guardians could have the right-hander pitch this weekend versus the Angels, but team off days Thursday and Monday would allow Cleveland to simply skip his turn through the rotation to provide Cecconi some extra rest. |
|
| May 23 2025 | Cecconi (1-1) came away with the win in Friday's game against the Tigers. He allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out six across six innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cecconi kept the Tigers off the board until the sixth inning, when he yielded a solo home run to Spencer Torkelson. Cecconi was able to finish off the frame to earn his first quality start of the season (and first since June 18 as a member of the Diamondbacks) and finished with 14 whiffs on 84 pitches (56 strikes). He should remain in the Guardians' rotation with Ben Lively (elbow) set to undergo season-ending surgery. Cecconi's next start is slated for next week at home against the Dodgers. |
|
| May 18 2025 | Cecconi (0-1) struck out eight but took the loss Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks over five-plus innings in a 4-1 loss to the Reds. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cecconi was activated from the injured list Saturday after missing the beginning of the campaign due to an oblique issue, and he started off with four scoreless frames before running into any real trouble. The right-hander gave up a solo homer in the fifth and allowed the first two batters to reach in the sixth before being pulled, with both runners coming around to score after his exit. Cecconi served as a swingman for Arizona last season with 13 starts in 20 appearances, and he stumbled to a 6.66 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across 77 innings. His career in Cleveland is off to an intriguing start despite the loss Saturday, but he'll likely need to keep the ball in the yard to find sustained success after allowing a 1.9 HR/9 last year. |
|
| May 17 2025 | The Guardians activated Cecconi (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cecconi suffered a left oblique strain in mid-March and began the regular season on the IL. He's getting the start against Cincinnati in his return to the big-league roster Saturday after topping out at 5.2 innings in three rehab outings. Cecconi will take the spot in Cleveland's rotation that had previously been occupied by Ben Lively, who landed on the injured list Tuesday due to a right flexor strain. |
|
| May 16 2025 | Cecconi (oblique) will return from the injured list to start Saturday's game against the Reds, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cecconi has been on the injured list all season while working his way back from a left oblique strain he suffered during spring training. He has since made three rehab starts at Triple-A Columbus, turning in a 4.85 ERA and 1.08 WHIP while posting a 10:2 K:BB across 13 innings. Now set to make his Guardians debut, the 25-year-old righty will be welcomed back to the majors by a Reds lineup that owns a .690 OPS since the start of May. |
|
| May 12 2025 | Cecconi (oblique) allowed two runs on six hits while striking out three over 5.2 innings for Triple-A Columbus on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was Cecconi's third rehab start and best to date. He worked into the sixth inning and threw 68 pitches (48 strikes). Through his three outings, Cecconi has allowed seven runs on 12 hits and two walks while striking out 10 over 13 innings. Most encouraging is that he's not allowed a home run, which has been an issue for the right-hander. There currently isn't an obvious spot for Cecconi in the Guardians' rotation, which suggests he may join the Clippers' rotation once activated. |
|
| May 7 2025 | Cecconi (oblique) allowed three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two over four innings for Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cecconi made his second rehab start for the Clippers, upping his pitch count to 61 (43 strikes). The injury cropped up during the middle of March, and the right-hander has been working his way back since then. He'll need at least one more rehab start before the Guardians consider Cecconi's next step. |
|
| Apr 30 2025 | Cecconi (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cecconi got a late start to the season due to a left oblique strain suffered back in mid-March, but he is finally ready to pitch in games. The right-hander could eventually push for a spot in the Cleveland rotation, but he'll need time in the minors to get ramped back up. |
