Alex Cobb Playing Catch
15 seconds agoDetroit 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.
