Los Angeles Angels starter Alex Cobb picked up his sixth victory of the season Saturday night, throwing 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball against the Seattle Mariners with six strikeouts, four walks, no home runs and five hits allowed. It's Cobb's third consecutive start giving up one earned run or less, bringing his ERA down to 3.96 on the year. It's been a while since Cobb was an effective pitcher, as he hasn't had an ERA below 4.30 since 2017 with the Tampa Bay Rays. He wasn't expected to have much fantasy relevance before this year, but he has been a solid contributor in multiple categories and can help any fantasy manager looking for a starting pitcher.--Spencer Seguin

The Detroit Tigers placed right-hander Alex Cobb (hip) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to March 24) due to right-hip inflammation. The oft-injured 37-year-old veteran didn't pitch at all in spring training due to his hip injury, which means he'll probably miss at least the first month of the regular season. However, the good news is that he resumed throwing last week in camp. It remains to be seen if Cobb will even have a starting-rotation spot waiting for him whenever he's finally cleared to come off the IL. Remember, Cobb was only able to make three regular-season starts for the Cleveland Guardians last year due to hip, finger and shoulder injuries. Durability at this stage of his career is a serious question mark, so Cobb might be better served as a long reliever/swing man for Detroit. In addition to injury concerns, Cobb has very little fantasy upside with a below-average strikeout rate.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Detroit Tigers right-hander Alex Cobb (hip) threw his first bullpen session in camp on Saturday and is scheduled to throw his second bullpen on Wednesday. Cobb was shut down early in spring training after he was diagnosed with right-hip inflammation, but the 37-year-old veteran is ramping back up as he attempts to rejoin the team's starting rotation. Opening Day is next Thursday in L.A. against the World Series-champion Los Angeles Dodgers, though, so Cobb will open the regular season on the injured list and isn't expected to make his 2025 debut until late April or early May. While Cobb will be given a rotation spot in Detroit when he's ready, he's not much of a fantasy asset and has only made 30 starts in a season once. He made just three starts in 2024 due to hip, finger and shoulder injuries and just hasn't been very durable.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Alex Cobb (hip) received an epidural injection to further aid in his recovery process. The right-hander is set to play catch tomorrow. Cobb is already expected to miss the start of the regular season and could face a more extended absence if he cannot be built up. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he works his way back from hip inflammation. Earlier in the offseason, the 37-year-old signed a one-year contract worth $15 million. Cobb was expected to open the season in the rotation, but with this injury, his absence will leave a spot open for at least a month. During camp, Matt Manning, Kenta Maeda, Casey Mize, and Ty Madden are expected to compete for this role. Last season, Cobb was limited to just 16 1/3 innings of work and could open this season on the injured list.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Alex Cobb (hip) played catch on Friday. Chris McCosky noted that his hip is not "all the way over the hump, but it feels a lot better." The 37-year-old was shut down earlier this month due to this injury. However, seeing him slowly begin baseball activities is a positive sign. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status, but he is expected to miss at least a month of action. Last season, Cobb only logged 16 1/3 innings with the Cleveland Guardians due to numerous injuries. During this short stint, Cobb held a 2.76 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP. In 2022, Cobb posted a 3.87 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP across 151 1/3 innings with the San Francisco Giants. With Cobb expected to miss some time, top prospect Jackson Jobe should be viewed as a front-runner to open the season in the rotation.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
