Slade Cecconi - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Works out of trouble Cecconi allowed three hits and struck out one over two scoreless innings in Wednesday's spring start against Texas.

Impact Cecconi made his Cactus League debut and was immediately forced to work out of jams. He was aided by runner being thrown at home plate and stranded a runner at third base in the first inning and second base in the second. The good news was no walks, and he was around the zone (20 strikes among his 30 pitches). After serving in a hybrid starter/reliever role for the Diamondbacks in 2023 and 2024, Cecconi was a full-season starter for the Guardians in 2025. Results were mixed, but the right-hander showed enough to keep him in Cleveland's plans for the rotation in 2026.

Last Night in Baseball: Yankees, Cubs and Tigers Join Dodgers in Division Series

Records seven outs in Game 3 Cecconi didn't factor into the decision during Thursday's loss to the Tigers, giving up one earned run on two hits and a walk while striking out three batters across 2.1 innings.

Impact Cecconi kept the Tigers off the board through the first two innings of the game with little trouble, but back-to-back singles from the Tigers in the third were all manager Stephen Vogt needed to see to take his starter out of the game after just 47 pitches. Reliever Tim Herrin allowed one of the inherited runners to score, preventing Cecconi from finishing his Guardians postseason debut unblemished. With Cleveland now shifting its focus to the 2026 campaign, Cecconi should have a good chance at cracking the Opening Day rotation after turning in a 4.30 ERA and 1.19 WHIP across 132 innings in the regular season.

Settles in after dismal first frame Cecconi (7-7) took the loss Friday against the Rangers, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk in four innings. He struck out three.

Impact It was a pivotal game for the playoff-hopeful Guardians, but Cecconi was unable to deliver a positive performance. It was his shortest outing since Aug. 10 against the White Sox, though the right-hander at least managed to settle in for three scoreless innings after giving up all of his runs in the opening frame. Cecconi will finish the regular season with a decent 4.30 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 109:32 K:BB over 132 innings, turning in 11 quality starts in 23 outings.

Blanks Minny for seventh win Cecconi (7-6) picked up the win in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader sweep of the Twins, scattering two hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out eight.

Impact A Luke Keaschall double in the second inning represented the only Minnesota runner to get into scoring position against Cecconi, who racked up 33 called or swinging strikes among 98 pitches (60 total strikes) in arguably his best start in the majors to date. Over his last three outings, the right-hander has a 0.87 ERA, 0.53 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB through 20.2 innings as he wraps up 2025 on a roll and boosts the Guardians' remarkable late playoff push. Cecconi will try to carry that momentum into his final start of the year, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Rangers.

Concedes two runs in no-decision Cecconi allowed two runs on three hits and one walk over 5.2 innings while not factoring into the decision Sunday against the White Sox. He struck out four.

Impact The 26-year-old gave up just two extra-base knocks in this 93-pitch appearance, and both scored the pair of runs he yielded. Miguel Vargas plated the first Chicago run with a double in the fourth before Chase Meidroth added a solo homer in the fifth. Cecconi has now pitched to a 4.39 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 98:30 K:BB across 121 total frames. The Cleveland right-hander projects to face off with divisional foes Minnesota for the first time in his career next weekend on the road.
