Cobb (1-1) just did not have it Wednesday against the Yankees, lasting only 1.1 innings and giving up seven runs on nine hits and a walk, taking the loss.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb had been pitching well in his return from Tommy John, entering Wednesday with a 3.06 ERA over three starts. Then he ran into the Yankees, who rattled off hit after hit until Gary Sanchez really broke things open with a three-run homer down the left field line in the second, ending Cobb's night at 52 pitches. The outing more than doubled Cobb's ERA to 6.16. He'll try to forget the rough outing when he takes on the White Sox on Monday.

Cobb, who makes the first of his last two starts of the season Wednesday versus the Yankees, is pleased with his body of work at the major league level in 2016, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old is pleased with what he's been able to do so far over his three starts since returning to the major league level, Cobb has given up six earned runs over 17.2 innings over that period, posting a solid 3.06 ERA and 12:4 K:BB. The fact that he's been able to put together some positive efforts at the tail end of 2016 is sure to provide him with some much-needed confidence heading into next season, regardless of how his last pair of outings go. "I've done enough good things to hang my hat on," he said.

Cobb (1-0) worked around three walks to allow just one run on two hits while striking out four in 6.2 innings in a victory over the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander wasn't quite as sharp as his first two outings back from Tommy John surgery, but he's still yielded just four free passes in 17.2 frames. Cobb pitched well enough to win in his other starts, but he finally received the run support early in the game to capture the victory. He is 1-0 with a 3.06 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 17.2 innings over three starts this season. His next scheduled outing is Wednesday against the Yankees.

Cobb allowed four runs (three earned) over six innings in Tuesday's no-decision at Yankee Stadium, striking out one without a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb has pitched well in two starts since returning from Tommy John surgery, issuing just one free pass in 11 innings. He has no wins to show for his efforts, though, which isn't surprising given Tampa Bay's underwhelming offensive numbers. Wednesday's road matchup with Toronto will be a big test after the 28-year-old held that dangerous lineup at bay nicely in his previous outing at Tropicana Field.

Cobb (0-0) held the Blue Jays to two runs on four hits while striking out seven over five innings of work Friday in his return from Tommy John surgery.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb's first big league start in almost two years was encouraging, as he settled down after a rough first two innings to retire the final 10 batters he faced. While he has had battled frequent injuries since breaking into the majors in 2011, he has consistently proven to be an effective starter for the Rays when healthy.

Cobb (elbow) was activated from the 60-day DL on Monday and is set to start Friday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

The Rays went ahead and activated Cobb prior to roster expansion, designating Steve Geltz as a corresponding move. He will start Friday against a potent Blue Jays lineup in his first big league start in almost two years after undergoing Tommy John surgery. For what it's worth, Cobb has been hit hard in his rehab starts, but his big league track record still makes him worth rostering in mid-sized formats over the rest of the season.

Cobb (elbow) will start Friday against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Friday will mark Cobb's first major league action since 2014, as the 28-year-old is finally at the end of his lengthy recovery from Tommy John surgery. The results have been somewhat rocky during his rehab stint, as he's worked to a 6.60 ERA over four starts at Triple-A and a 6.75 ERA in four starts at High-A, so the Rays will likely play it fairly cautiously with not much on the line in the final month. Tampa is expected to go with a six-man rotation for the time being, so no further changes to the rotation are forthcoming.

Cobb (elbow) will be activated from the 15-day disabled list Monday, Steve Carney of 620 WDA reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given that Cobb made a rehab outing Saturday, it's unlikely he will rejoin the rotation before the upcoming Friday or Saturday, but that should be announced in the coming days. Although his numbers in the minors (6.65 ERA, 1.80 WHIP) weren't overly impressive, the Rays likely aren't concerned with the results of his rehab. He will rejoin a Tampa Bay team that is out of playoff contention, giving him plenty of time to tune up prior to the offseason and the 2017 campaign.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb, who missed all of last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, concluded his eight-start rehab assignment Saturday, covering four innings and surrendering one run and five hits in an outing for Triple-A Durham. With a 6.65 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 15:8 K:BB ratio across 21.2 innings with Durham and High-A Charlotte, Cobb didn't exactly look sharp during his rehab, but more important than his results was the fact that he endured no setbacks with his elbow along the way. He'll likely experience plenty of ups and downs in his performance with the Rays over the final month of the season, but with the team out of playoff contention, the main priority will be ensuring that Cobb enters the offseason with his health fully intact heading into 2017.

Cobb (elbow) will make a final rehab start for Triple-A Durham on Saturday before joining the Rays next week, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

His long road back from May 2015 Tommy John surgery almost complete, Cobb will take the mound one more time for the Bulls in a final effort to work out kinks and stretch out his arm. The 28-year-old has had an up-and-down rehab process, with an extended break from game action at one point to remedy some mechanics and fatigue-related issues. Cobb will try to rebound from his last start on Aug. 22 against Norfolk, an outing where he gave up five earned runs on nine hits and two walks over four frames. He's not scheduled for a soft landing when he arrives in Tampa either, as the right-hander is scheduled to face the Blue Jays on Sept. 2 or 3.
