San Francisco Giants right-hander Alex Cobb (groin) is expected to throw a bullpen session on Thursday. Cobb has been sidelined since injuring his groin on April 19. The veteran hurler threw lightly in his bullpen session on Monday but Thursday's session is expected to be more intense with the Giants planning his next move depending on how things go. Cobb has compiled a 1-0 record, 4.82 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 14 strikeouts over 9 1/3 innings of work spanning two starts in 2022.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Alex Cobb (groin) continues to improve and plans to throw a light session off a mound on Monday. If he doesn't encounter any setbacks, he'll throw once more off a mound and then be re-evaluated for a potential return to the starting rotation. Cobb went on the injured list last Tuesday with a Grade 1 groin strain, but he's downplayed the severity of the issue and resumed playing catch on Friday. The 34-year-old right-hander is eligible to return from the IL on April 30, but it remains to be seen if that will happen. Cobb allowed five earned runs on 10 hits while walking two and striking out 14 in 9 1/3 innings in his first two starts of the season before injuring his groin.

This is good news for the veteran, who has avoided a serious injury. He was placed on the injured list on Tuesday and he is eligible to return on April 30. It sounds as if there's a chance he'll be back when first eligible. The 34-year-old has pitched 9.1 innings over two starts so far this year and he's allowed 10 hits, two walks and five earned runs while striking out 14.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Alex Cobb (groin) will be placed on the injured list, according to Giants manager Gabe Kapler. The move could be made prior to Game 2 of the team's doubleheader against the New York Mets on Tuesday, which would allow the team to add relief pitcher Yunior Marte for bullpen depth. Cobb suffered a groin injury while running to cover first during Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader. We still don't know much about the severity of the injury, but he is slated to undergo an MRI. Following the results of the MRI, we should have a better idea of how long we can expect Cobb to be sidelined. For now, expect him to miss at least his next two starts.

He suffered a leg injury while running to cover first base on a play. Dominic Leone entered the game to take over for him. Cobb pitched a total of 4 1/3 innings in the game and allowed six hits, no walks and three runs (two earned) while striking out four. He also left a runner on second base at the time of his departure. We should know more about the nature and severity of the injury after the game.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Alex Cobb had a strong debut outing with the team on Tuesday. Facing the San Diego Padres, he pitched five innings and allowed four hits, two walks and two earned runs while striking out 10. The Giants' offense blew up for 13 runs in the game, so Cobb coasted to an easy win. The 34-year-old signed a two-year deal with the Giants this offseason. Last year, with the Los Angeles Angels, he made 18 starts and went 8-3 with a 3.76 ERA, a 1.26 and a 24.9% strikeout rate. He's slated to make his next start on Monday against the New York Mets.

The San Francisco Giants and starting pitcher Alex Cobb have finalized a deal to add the veteran right-hander to their rotation for the next two seasons, agreeing on a contract worth $20 million dollars. Cobb will be paid $9 million dollars in each of 2022 and 2023, and the club holds an option for 2024 worth $10 million dollars with a $2 million dollar buyout. Cobb had a strong 2021 until he went down with injury, recording a 3.76 ERA in 93 1/3 innings with an impressive career-high 24.9 percent strikeout rate. The team now has signed Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood, and Cobb to follow Logan Webb in the rotation, while losing Kevin Gausman to the Toronto Blue Jays.

The San Francisco Giants are finalizing an agreement with starting pitcher Alex Cobb that will bring the 10-year veteran to the team. Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle indicated that the team was making Cobb a priority earlier in the offseason, and now those efforts have paid off. Terms of the deal are not yet known. Cobb had perhaps the best season of his career in 2021, posting a 3.76 ERA and 2.92 FIP with 98 strikeouts in 93 1/3 innings before missing time with injury. He joins a rotation that includes Logan Webb, Anthony DeSclafani, and Alex Wood. Further additions are expected, though they may have to wait until after a new collective bargaining agreement is worked out.

The San Francisco Giants are making a "strong push" to sign starting pitcher Alex Cobb as they seek to solidify their starting rotation behind ace Logan Webb. Having already brought Anthony DeSclafani and Alex Wood back into the fold on Monday, they could soon be adding Cobb, who managed a 3.76 ERA across 93 1/3 innings for the Los Angeles Angels in his age-34 season. While injuries remain a concern for Cobb, his strikeout percentage, swinging-strike rate and opponent's chase rate were all career-high numbers in 2021. That should do plenty to raise his profile with not only front offices, but also with fantasy managers.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Alex Cobb (8-3) wasn't his sharpest on Thursday, surrendering five runs in five innings, but didn't factor into the decision of the 7-6 loss to the Texas Rangers. He also struck out five and walked two, while all five of the runs came via two home runs. His ERA jumped to 3.76 after the outing, and he now has 98 strikeouts across 93.1 innings and 18 starts. It was his last start of the season, and possibly in an Angels uniform, with Cobb entering free agency over the winter. He has discussed his desire to stay in Anaheim, but if he does move elsewhere, hopefully, he can sustain the improvements he made after posting a 5.10 ERA from 2018 to 2020.

Cobb doesn't seem to have lost it in his two starts after over a month on the injured list, pitching to a 0.84 ERA over 10.2 IP. Overall this season, he has a 3.46 ERA, 93 strikeouts, and 31 walks across 88.1 innings and 17 starts. He remains a productive fantasy pitcher, contributing in multiple categories.

He threw five innings, allowed no runs on two hits and two walks while striking out five. He now has a 3.59 ERA with 89 strikeouts over 82 2/3 innings in 16 starts.

The Angels will likely keep the rotation intact upon his return, especially after it was announced that starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani might not pitch again this season.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Alex Cobb (wrist) is expected to make Thursday's start against the Chicago White Sox, according to manager Joe Maddon. Cobb has been on the injured list since July 30 with right wrist inflammation and hasn't pitched in any game since. It's good news for fantasy managers, and hopefully, he can put up the same numbers he was before being sidelined. Cobb was 7-3 with a 3.82 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 25.7 K% over 77.2 innings. Even if he isn't as sharp, he'll likely be a safe option in many fantasy leagues, generating enough strikeouts while keeping his ERA below 4. Maddon also announced that starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani will take the hill and face the Oakland Athletics on Friday.

He's posted a 3.82 ERA, 25.7 K%, 8.0 BB%, and just three home runs over 77.2 IP. Cobb's still a rehab assignment away from being activated but should be trusted to put up the same numbers once he's back.

Fantasy managers should monitor Cobb's status over the next week or so. He could be a decent pickup, assuming he is sitting around on the waiver wire.
