Alex Cobb is on the seven-day concussion disabled list after being hit on the head by a line drive Saturday and manager Joe Maddon told Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times that there’s no timetable yet for the right-hander’s return to the Rays:
He’s feeling a little bit better, obviously not tremendously better. It’s one of those things that’s just going to take some time. My advice to him was to not try to really rush anything, just permit your body to tell you when you’re ready to do the next thing, and I think he’s pretty much accepted that thought.
Maddon added that he thinks “it’s going to be a long process,” which suggests Cobb’s stay on the DL will last well beyond seven days, and the manager was hesitant to talk about whether the team expects Cobb to pitch again this season.
