Cobb

Cobb struck out three and walked two while throwing 45 pitches. Rehabbing a hip injury, he’ll probably make two more starts in the minors before the Tigers consider adding him to their rotation.

Cobb also struck out two and walked one. Reports on his hip mobility were good, and it seems likely that he will be moved to a higher level in the organization for a start this week.

Cobb threw 31 pitches (18 strikes) in his first rehab outing. He’s been out all season battling lingering issues in both of his hips. The 37-year-old has a shot at making it to Detroit by late August or early September, if he manages to avoid any further setbacks.

Cobb has been out all season battling lingering issues in both of his hips. The 37-year-old veteran’s odds of making it to Detroit seem a bit low at the moment, but he’s got a shot to contribute at some point by late August or early September, if he manages to avoid any further setbacks.

The 37-year-old right-hander has missed the entire season due to issues with both of his hips, but he now feels like he needs just one more bullpen session before he’ll be ready to head out on a second minor league rehab assignment. His last rehab stint lasted three starts and 6 1/3 innings before he was ultimately shut down over lingering hip issues. At this point, anything the Tigers get from him this season would be a bonus.

It’s been a trying few months for Cobb, who threw a bullpen session on Tuesday, as he continues to try to work his way back from issues in both hips. Hinch added that Cobb is still symptomatic and that his body is simply failing him right now. The 37-year-old veteran starter will be racing the clock to make it to Detroit before the end of the regular season. We’ve reached the point where he can’t really afford any additional setbacks.

The 37-year-old hurler is working his way back from a right hip injury and now it looks like his other hip is causing him problems as well. The perils of growing old. They’ll wait a few days to see how he responds to that before resuming his minor league rehab assignment.

Cobb also walked three and struck out two. He threw just 26 of his 49 pitches for strikes. He’ll likely need at least two more starts at this rate, unless the Tigers feel like calling him up to form a piggyback situation with Sawyer Gipson-Long, whose innings are being limited while returning from surgery.

Cobb tossed 2 1/3 scoreless frames last Friday in his latest rehab outing for High-A West Michigan. The oft-injured 37-year-old veteran will likely need a few additional outings to continue building up his pitch count and stamina, but he’s inching towards his season debut after missing the first couple months with a hip ailment.

Cobb didn’t allow a hit in the contest while walking two and striking out two. He threw 34 pitches in the ballgame, 18 of them for strikes. The 37-year-old hurler has a long buildup ahead of him after missing all of spring training and the first two-plus months of the regular season. He has looked sharp so far though, with 4 1/3 scoreless frames allowing just one hit and two walks. He’s at least a couple of weeks away from being an option to help out the Tigers.
