Fires 7.1 innings of two-run ball Cecconi (3-4) earned the win Monday against the Tigers, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks in 7.1 innings. He struck out four.

Impact The 26-year-old right-hander delivered perhaps his finest performance of the year, spinning a season-high 7.1 frames in what was only his second quality start thus far. Cecconi has still been highly erratic for the Guardians overall, giving up at least four runs in five of his 10 starts while surrendering two or fewer in the other half. Despite Monday's showing, Cecconi might still be tough to trust when he brings a 5.16 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 42:19 K:BB over 52.1 innings into a difficult road assignment against the Phillies.

Fans seven in no-decision Cecconi didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Angels, allowing five hits and a walk over four scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

Impact Inefficiency cost Cecconi a chance at his third win of the season, as the right-hander needed 89 pitches (59 strikes) to record just 12 outs and left the mound with Cleveland ahead 2-0.

Mixed results in second win Cecconi (2-4) notched the win Thursday against the Royals, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out three.

Impact The outing was a mixed bag for Cecconi but a positive one overall. Although the right-hander threw only 45 of his 82 pitches for strikes and walked multiple batters for the third time in his past five starts, he pitched at least five frames while yielding two runs or fewer for only the second time this year and also managed to keep the ball in the yard. Cecconi still has a shaky 6.15 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 31:16 K:BB across 41 innings, so he shapes up as a risky fantasy option versus the Angels his next time out.

Impact The right-hander served up a pair of homers to Shea Langeliers to account for most of the damage against him, but Cleveland's offense dominated from the fifth inning onward to get Cecconi into the win column.

Still, it's the fourth loss through six starts this season for Cecconi, whose ERA sits at an ugly 6.23 with a 1.52 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB across 30.1 innings. He'll look to turn things around his next time out, currently scheduled to come next week on the road against the A's.

Yields four earned in Friday's loss Cecconi (0-2) took the loss against Atlanta on Friday, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out three across 5.1 innings.

Impact Cecconi held Atlanta to one run through five innings and was brought out for the sixth, but that's where things fell apart for the 26-year-old right-hander. He gave up hits to each of the first four batters he faced in the frame, including a solo homer and a two-run long shot to Ronald Acuna and Matt Olson, respectively. Cecconi was subsequently lifted, but he did not get enough run support from his teammates to avoid the loss. He has yielded at least four earned runs in two of his first three starts of the season and has a 5.74 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 15.2 innings to open the 2026 campaign. Cecconi is slated to start next week at home against the Cardinals, when he'll look to capture his first victory of the season.
