Alex Cobb Begins Throwing Program
11 months agoSan Francisco Giants starting pitcher Alex Cobb (hip) started throwing from flat ground over the weekend as he continues to recover from offseason hip surgery. "Sixty feet. Nothing crazy. But it feels great," the 36-year-old told reporters. He added, "It feels way better than it did at the end of the year." It's an encouraging sign for Cobb, who underwent hip surgery back in October and was given a six-month timetable for his return to action. He has a shot, without any setbacks, to make it back to the Giants' rotation sometime in the first half. He finished the 2023 season with a solid 3.87 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and 131:37 K/BB ratio over 151 1/3 innings (28 starts) before being shut down last September. His injury will likely push him into the late rounds/undrafted territory in upcoming fantasy drafts but he could make an impact in the second half for managers.
