He strained his left oblique during Spring Training. He has made a trio of rehab starts with Triple-A Columbus over the past couple weeks. Cecconi has allowed seven runs over 13 innings. He got through 5 2\/3 frames and tallied 68 pitches over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>A Miami product, Cecconi was a supplemental first-round pick in 2020. His prospect stock has dimmed since then, though the Guardians still liked him enough to send their longtime first baseman to Arizona. Cecconi tossed 104 innings for the Snakes between 2023-24, allowing just over six earned runs per nine. His 18.7% strikeout rate is below-average, but he has shown excellent control. He owns a 4.73 ERA over parts of five minor league seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Cleveland lost\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/l\/livelbe01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-05-16_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ben Lively<\/a> to the injured list with a flexor strain earlier this week.
