Cecconi (oblique) will return from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday's game against the Reds, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Cecconi has been on the IL all season while working his way back from a left oblique strain he suffered during spring training. He has since made three rehab starts at Triple-A Columbus, turning in a 4.85 ERA and 1.08 WHIP while posting a 10:2 K:BB across 13 innings. Now set to make his Guardians debut, the 25-year-old righty will be welcomed back to the majors by a Reds lineup that owns a .690 OPS since the start of May.
