Alex Cobb Receives Injection, Set To Play Catch Wednesday
1 min agoDetroit 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.
