Cecconi, who has a 4.78 ERA over 21 starts this year, will debut in relief for the team. In corresponding roster moves, the Guardians optioned Kyle Manzardo and David Fry to Triple-A Columbus and added Jo Adell and Nathaniel Lowe. Manzardo and Fry have underperformed this season, contributing to the decision to reshuffle and refresh the lineup and depth.

"Controversial First Strikeout: Slade Cecconi's Unusual Start After Review"

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Slade Cecconi had an unusual first Major League strikeout during a game against the San Francisco Giants. Initially ruled a hit-by-pitch, a replay review showed that the ball hit the knob of the batter's bat and then ricocheted into the catcher's stomach/groin area. The call was overturned, resulting in a foul tip strikeout. Despite the odd start, Cecconi settled in and pitched well, allowing two runs in 4 2/3 innings.
