Arizona Diamondbacks rookie right-handed pitcher Slade Cecconi has been scratched from Monday's start against the Texas Rangers.
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.
