Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Cobb (hips) has been pulled off his rehab assignment and will be shut down for a week before he resumes pitching in minor-league games, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb doesn't appear to have experienced a setback in his recovery from his hip injuries. Instead, pulling him off the assignment will allow the Tigers to delay a decision on activating the pitcher from the 60-day injured list, as his 30-day rehab window was about to end. Cobb has made six rehab appearances since restarting his rehab assignment July 29 and has pitched well, posting a 2.03 ERA and 17:7 K:BB over 13.1 innings between Toledo and High-A Lansing. The Tigers are considering Cobb for a multi-inning relief role once he returns from the IL.

Cobb (hips) could make one more rehab appearance for Triple-A Toledo before being activated from the 60-day injured list and slotting into Detroit's bullpen, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb has now made a total of nine rehab appearances, with each of his last three outings coming with Toledo. He's nearing the end of his 30-day rehab window, so the Tigers will need to make a decision on what to do with the veteran. Cobb recently shifted to a relief role with Toledo after previously getting built back up as a starter, and manager A.J. Hinch said the team wants to keep him "stretched out to 30, 40, 50 pitches." The righty will likely serve as a long reliever once he's activated, giving Detroit some pitching depth for the stretch run.

The Tigers plan to use Cobb (hips) as a reliever once he's activated from the 60-day injured list, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb pitched out of the bullpen with Triple-A Toledo on his rehab assignment Tuesday, striking out four and not allowing a hit over three innings. The appearance was the eighth of his rehab assignment and first as a reliever. Manager A.J. Hinch said Wednesday that the Tigers want to keep Cobb "stretched out to 30, 40, 50 pitches," so Cobb likely won't be asked to build much further on three-inning workload he handled Tuesday. Cobb has been on the shelf all season while recovering from inflammation in both hips, but he's pitched well on his rehab assignment (1.53 ERA, 23:11 K:BB in 17.2 innings), so there's a chance he can still help the Tigers down the stretch.

Cobb (hips) struck out two batters and allowed one unearned run on two hits and one walk over two innings in a rehab start with High-A West Michigan on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb has been on the shelf all season due to right hip inflammation, but he was pulled off a rehab assignment in June after experiencing soreness in both of his hips. The right-hander previously had his left hip surgically repaired following the 2023 season, so the Tigers have understandably brought Cobb along slowly in his recovery following the setback. He made enough progress in recent weeks to kick off a rehab assignment with West Michigan on Tuesday, and after tossing two innings in that contest, he turned in another two-inning start four days later while tossing 38 pitches. He sported a fastball that sat around 91-to-93 miles per hour Sunday, with that velocity being about a tick behind his average from 2024. The Tigers are expected to have Cobb continue to get stretched out as a starter during his rehab assignment, though it's unclear if the big club will have a spot in the rotation available for him once he's ready to return from the 60-day injured list.

Cobb (hip) will resume a rehab assignment with High-A West Michigan on Tuesday, broadcaster Dan Hasty reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb made three previous rehab starts from late May to mid-June but had to be pulled off the rehab assignment due to renewed soreness in both hips. The veteran right-hander will attempt to make it back to the Tigers at some point during the final two months of the season, but it's no safe bet that it will happen.

Cobb received injections in his left hip during the All-Star break to treat inflammation as he continues to deal with pain in both hips, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb has received several injections in recent months as he slowly recovers from hip issues that have sidelined him all year. The veteran righty was officially added to the injured list in February due to right hip inflammation, though his surgically repaired left hip has also been giving him problems. Cobb did complete a bullpen session Tuesday and the team is still optimistic that he could return late in the season, but his fantasy impact is likely to be minimal even if he does.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Cobb (hips) threw a bullpen session Tuesday but was "still symptomatic," Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb has received injections in both hips, including one last week in his surgically repaired left hip. However, he's still experiencing discomfort. Hinch said that the Tigers will "continue to try to nudge" Cobb forward, but the veteran right-hander remains without a timetable to resume his rehab assignment. Cobb previously made three starts in the minors before being pulled off the assignment in mid-June.

Cobb received an injection in his left hip earlier in the week and is slated to resume throwing Saturday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb has received multiple injections to address the inflammation in his hip, which has kept him on the injured list all season. The Tigers will likely look to get the 37-year-old back on a mound shortly after he restarts his throwing program, though it remains to be seen when he'll restart his rehab assignment in the minors.

Cobb (hip) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb received an injection to address left hip inflammation June 13, but he's been cleared to resume throwing off a mound. Assuming he doesn't endure another setback, Cobb should be back on a rehab assignment within a week or two. He has yet to make his 2025 MLB debut.

Cobb (hip) received an injection in his left hip Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb threw two innings in a rehab start Wednesday but received an injection Friday to address inflammation in his left hip. Cobb had previously been dealing with inflammation in his right hip. It's unclear how long the injection will set his assignment back. Wednesday's outing was his third rehab appearance.
