2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cecconi was recalled to the majors four times and optioned to the minors five times by the Diamondbacks in 2024. While the 25-year-old pitched well in a tough environment at Triple-A Reno, posting a 3.06 ERA and 54:14 K:BB over 47 innings, he wasn't nearly as successful with the big club as he split time between starting and long relief. Cecconi has collected a solid 24.1 percent strikeout rate and 6.8 percent walk rate in the minors, and while the good control has followed him to the majors (4.7 percent walk rate), the bat-missing has not (18.7 percent strikeout rate). The Guardians saw something to like with Cecconi and received him in the Josh Naylor trade over the offseason. Cleveland's reputation with pitching development is reason enough for fantasy managers to be more interested in Cecconi, although a spot in the Opening Day rotation does not appear to be a guarantee.

Signed a one-year contract with the Guardians in March of 2025.
Falls short of five frames Saturday
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.
Analysis
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2021
The right-hander made his MLB debut for Arizona last season and posted a solid 4.33 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB across 27 innings while working as a swingman. Cecconi otherwise exclusively worked as a starter at Triple-A Reno but scuffled to a 6.11 ERA in 23 outings. He has plenty of prospect pedigree as the 33rd overall pick of the 2020 Draft but hasn't put up notable numbers in the minor leagues. Cecconi should compete for a spot in the Diamondbacks' rotation during spring training and will likely make some starts at some point even if he misses the Opening Day roster, but he seems unlikely to be a reliable back-end starter.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could rejoin MLB rotation
Zac Gallen suffered a hamstring strain Thursday against the Mets, per Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com, so Cecconi may have a chance to rejoin the Diamondbacks' rotation next week.
Analysis
Cecconi was demoted to Triple-A Reno last week after a five-start run with Arizona, which ended with him giving up six runs in three of his final four outings. The 24-year-old had a 2.08 ERA and 0.69 WHIP in his other three appearances, so he's been a true boom-or-bust performer early in 2024. Gallen remains without a return timeline for now but is a strong bet to land on the injured list.
