Alex Cobb

Manager Kevin Cash said Alex Cobb (toe) had a good day Tuesday and could return to mound work as early as Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

If Cobb has a good mound session on Wednesday it could set him up to be back in the Rays rotation as soon as next week. Fantasy owners needing pitching may want to grab Cobb if he was dropped in any leagues.

The Rays placed Alex Cobb on the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday with turf toe in his right big toe. The team recalled Blake Snell from Triple-A, who will start on Thursday.

Cobb was coming off a great start this weekend against Milwaukee, in which he allowed just one run over six innings. While turf toe sounds like a minor injury, it significantly impacts the way a pitcher pushes off the mound. It's unclear how long Cobb will be sidelined, but obviously, get him out of your starting lineups this week.

Alex Cobb (9-8) allowed one run on five hits and one walk while striking out six over six innings to take the loss Saturday against the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact

This was a nice bounce back outing for Cobb who gave up eight runs in his last start on July 31. For the season the 29-year-old righty has a 9-8 with a 3.80 ERA after 23 starts. He has 96 strikeouts and 37 walks in 147 innings. Cobb makes his next start Friday against the Indians.

Alex Cobb (9-7) lasted just three innings and surrendered eight runs on nine hits and two walks in a loss Monday to the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

Cobb had been on a roll before this start against Houston as he was 3-0 with a 1.48 ERA over his last four starts. But the Astros have beaten up on many starters this year so look for a bounce back for the 29-year-old righty when he faces the Brewers in his next start.

Alex Cobb gave up one run on four hits and one walk while striking out six over seven innings Wednesday against the Orioles to pick up his ninth win of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Cobb has been outstanding and has eight quality starts over his last nine outings. And over his last seven appearances, the 29-year-old righty has four wins, 2.26 ERA, and 0.81 WHIP. Cobb should be owned in all fantasy leagues.
