Diamondbacks' Slade Cecconi scratched Monday, Joe Mantiply taking mound
Arizona Diamondbacks rookie right-handed pitcher Slade Cecconi has been scratched from Monday's start against the Texas Rangers.
What It Means:
The Diamondbacks will start lefty Joe Mantiply instead of Cecconi for Monday's series opener. Cecconi started in his MLB debut on August 2 and then came out of the bullpen in his second appearance.
Cecconi has allowed 4 runs on 9 hits and 4 walks, with 7 strikeouts, over his first 10 1/3 innings in the majors. Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the Rangers have one of the highest implied totals on the board ahead of Monday's game at batter-friendly Chase Field.
