The Arizona Diamondbacks will start Slade Cecconi on the mound in Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants.
Cecconi was called up earlier in the day before the team announced initial starter Merrill Kelly (undisclosed) as a scratch. He has now been named the team's starter for Sunday's game against the Giants with Kelly sidelined.
Cecconi is projected for 22.3 FanDuel points against the Giants today, with 4.5 K and 2.1 ER over 4.3 innings. He struck out just 18% of the batters he faced as a rookie, but also illustrated plus control while walking just 4 batters over 27 innings.
