Ugh, bummer about Cobb. Anyone know what he's on the shelf with? I know he had some blister problems earlier this year.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Jim or Nick know more, but his last outing he left with blisters on the throwing hand, if I remember correctly. If that's all it is, count me happy.
ReplyDeleteFrom Jim's writeup of Tuesday nights game: 'Alex Cobb got the start but saw his night end early after recurring blisters forced him to the bench.'
ReplyDeleteHope that's all it is.
He has been sidelined due to blisters on his throwing hand that has plagued him the last few starts. They put him on the 7-Day DL retro to 8/5.
