Cobb (finger) is included on the Guardians' ALDS roster.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb ended the regular season on the injured list due to a right finger blister, but his inclusion on the roster for the division series versus the Tigers suggests he's recovered. It's unclear if Cobb will be asked to start a game during the series or if he will serve as an option out of the bullpen. The right-hander posted a 2.76 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB over 16.1 innings across three starts during the regular season.

The Guardians placed Cobb on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to a right hand blister, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb had to be scratched from a scheduled start this past weekend due to the issue and didn't heal fast enough to avoid another stint on the IL. He'll be eligible to return during the final week of the season and should be ready to go by that time. Cobb's injury means both Joey Cantillo and Ben Lively (thigh), presuming the latter is healthy enough to do so, should remain in the Cleveland rotation.

Cobb will not make his scheduled start Saturday due to a blister, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb was out in mid-August with a fractured nail and is now developing the beginnings of a blister on his index finger. The Guardians are playing things cautiously by not throwing him and will instead turn to Gavin Williams. It doesn't sound as if Cobb is currently tabbed for a return to the injured list, though that is not official.

Cobb (2-1) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run (zero earned) on two hits over six innings against the Pirates. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb (finger) returned from the 15-day injured list to make just his third start of the season and was lights-out, starting the game by retiring the first 18 batters he faced. In the seventh, Isiah Kiner-Falefa rocketed a ground ball up the middle that caught Cobb's non-pitching hand just above the heel of his glove and resulted in an infield single. Cobb was briefly shaken up but stayed in the game to face one more batter, allowing a single to Bryan Reynolds before being removed after 80 pitches. Following a rough first outing with the Guardians, Cobb has allowed just one earned run and seven total baserunners over his last two outings spanning 11.2 innings. He'll look to continue to spearhead the Cleveland charge towards a division pennant when he makes his next start, currently slated to take place in Los Angeles against the Dodgers.

The Guardians reinstated Cobb (finger) from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday against the Pirates, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander landed on the injured list due to a fractured fingernail after his Aug. 14 start against the Cubs, but he'll rejoin the rotation after missing little more than the 15-day minimum. Cobb struggled in his season debut at Minnesota in early August with four earned runs allowed across 4.2 innings, but he pitched much better versus Chicago as he gave up just one run in 5.2 frames.

Cobb (fingernail) will rejoin the rotation Sunday against the Pirates, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb will wind up spending just one day beyond the minimum on the 15-day injured list due to a cracked fingernail on his pitching hand. He did not make a rehab start, but given the brief absence, Cobb should be able to handle a relatively normal workload versus the Pirates.

Guardians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti said that Cobb (fingernail) was scheduled to throw a bullpen session Sunday, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The team hasn't provided an update regarding how Cobb felt coming out of the side session, but assuming he was able to throw all his pitches without being inhibited by the fractured nail on his right hand, he should throw a live batting practice session by the middle of the week. Given that Cobb was first placed on the 15-day injured list this past Monday due to the fingernail issue, he may not need a minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated.

The Guardians placed Cobb on the 15-day injured list Monday with a fractured nail on his right hand.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb last pitched Aug. 14 and it's not clear whether he suffered the injury that day or since then. He had been tentatively slated to start Tuesday against the Yankees. Joey Cantillo could be a logical option to come up and pitch Tuesday or Wednesday, having last pitched at Triple-A last Thursday. Cobb has allowed six runs (five earned) over 10.1 innings in his first two starts with the Guardians.

Cobb (1-1) earned the win over Cleveland on Wednesday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 5.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Cobb struggled in his team debut last Friday, allowing five runs (four earned) over 4.2 frames. He was much better in his second outing, yielding just a fourth-inning run while getting through 5.2 frames on a relatively efficient 80 pitches. Cobb may still be on a mildly regulated pitch count since he missed the first four-plus months of the campaign following offseason hip surgery and topped out at 69 pitches during his minor-league rehab stint, but he should have any restriction lifted soon. His next start is projected to be a tough matchup against the Yankees in New York.

Cobb (0-1) took the loss in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Twins, allowing five runs (four earned) on nine hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first start since last September, Cobb was shaky out of the gate, allowing a run in each of the first two innings, before giving up a three-run homer to Matt Wallner in the fifth. The 36-year-old Cobb was solid with San Francisco last year, going. 7-7 with a 3.87 ERA in 28 starts. He's currently slated to make his next start next week at home versus the Cubs.
