Cleveland Guardians pitcher Slade Cecconi seeks a return to reliable starter during a recent rough patch on the mound.

The Guardians, who have traditionally finished spring training with exhibitions at Chase Field in late March in recent years, have a team led by All-Star third baseman Jose Ramirez and outfielder Steven Kwan. Stephen Vogt, formerly with the Diamondbacks as a player, manages the Guardians.

The left-hander most recently pitched on Friday night against the Braves, allowing one earned run and five hits over 5.0 innings of work. Cantillo now has a 3.93 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP on the season in his time split as a reliever and as a starter throughout the season.

MLB Network will air a special Players’ Weekend program at 1 p.m. on Saturday, hosted by Albert Pujols and Greg Amsinger. The show includes exclusive interviews with Francisco Lindor and Paul Skenes, plus behind-the-scenes tours of bat manufacturers Marucci and Victus Sports.
