2024 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Optioned back to minors
Cecconi was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Thursday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Cecconi was recalled Sept. 1 and allowed seven earned runs over 3.2 innings while in the majors. Cecconi has bounced between Reno and Arizona several times this season, so it's possible that he could return to the big leagues in the final days of the regular season.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Arizona popped Cecconi with the No. 33 overall pick last year and he already looks like one of the steals of the draft. The draft-eligible sophomore started working out 5-6 days per week when the U of Miami's season was cancelled in March. He added muscle to his 6-foot-4, 224-pound frame while improving his changeup and curveball. His mid-90s fastball and mid-80s slider were already plus pitches in college, and he showed up to the alternate training site pumping 98 mph from day one. There were concerns about his command and consistency when he was in college, and the 21-year-old righty will set out this year to prove he can maintain his electric stuff over longer outings while holding up over a full season. The team thinks he could move quickly, especially if his curveball and changeup continue to improve. Cecconi has clear frontline upside but won't come with that price tag in most dynasty leagues.

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.
