Giants Place Alex Cobb On Injured List

By Darragh McDonald | April 20, 2022 at 12:04pm CDT

Between the two games of last night’s doubleheader, the Giants made a roster move, announcing that right-hander Alex Cobb had been placed on the 10-day IL with a right adductor strain. Fellow righty Yunior Marte was recalled to take his place on the roster.

Cobb had started the opening match of the doubleheader, but was pulled after throwing 60 pitches over 4 1/3 innings, escorted by the club’s trainer. Cobb himself didn’t seem especially worried about the injury, as relayed by Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic and Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area. That suggests that Cobb could stay on the IL for the 10-day minimum or something close to it. Signed to a two-year, $20MM deal (plus a club option) just before the lockout, the 34-year-old has made two starts on the season thus far, logging 9 1/3 innings with a 4.82 ERA, 35% strikeout rate and 5% walk rate.

Even if he isn’t out for long, the timing of the injury is a bit awkward for the club. They are in the middle of a stretch where they play 14 games in 13 days, thanks to yesterday’s twin bill. They don’t have an off day until next Thursday, April 28th. Logan Webb started the second game yesterday and is lined up to throw on regular rest on the 24th. The next three days will see Carlos Rodon, Anthony DeSclafani and Alex Wood take the hill, with a starter needed to pitch on the 23rd and likely one more start beyond that.

As for Marte, the 27-year-old made his MLB debut earlier this year and now has two scoreless innings on his big league résumé.

    Cobb certainly is consistent.

      Even Carlos Rodon is saying, “That Cobb guy sure does get injured a lot…”

        Clipper, your use of quotation marks indicates that Rodon actually said that. As in, Rodon was quoted as saying that. Problem is Rodon has not been quoted as saying that. Dumb post. Sorry, no offense.

          Given the previous post “Even the Giants’ magic pitcher pixie dust wasn’t enough for this guy.”, it’s pretty clear that the “Even Carlos Rodon is saying, “That Cobb guy sure does get injured a lot…”” comment was made as a joke and not meant to be taken literally.

          “Dumb post. Sorry, no offense.”

          That’s a dumb post, claude.

          2 things. 1) Carlos Rodon has an injury history so I got the humor aspect intended by Clipper. It had nothing to do with the pixie dust post, nitmontu. 2) the quotation marks are what I criticized. I know Clipper wasn’t saying Rodon actually said that but his use of quotes ruined his post. So I do take back the “dumb post…no offense” comment. You’re correct gbs42.

          Just read the post and move on.

          Setting standards and holding people to them are what societies do. It’s normal.

    What a difference a year makes. We’re not dodging the injury bug so far in 2022.

    This is the exact reason that rosters are expanded during the month of April. Being able to carry 28 active players will make it easier for injuries like this. The Giants are adept at roster moves like this.

    The Giants have some depth. That’s how they won 107 last season despite the injuries. The difference is most of the 2021 injuries were to position players, although the pitching staff didn’t avoid the IL completely. They could start Beede, Long, or even Yunior Marte, until Cobb comes back..

    Starting pitching has gotten off to a good start. Relief pitching has been fairly consistent. Hitting needs to improve especially those below the Mendoza Line (Yaz and Ruff). FZ needs to look for impact bats or give more prospects an opportunity.

      Red, look around the league. Many many so called impact bats are struggling. It’s too early to look at stats. Good or bad.

    Anybody worried about the Giants ability to maneuver Cobb’s injury really isn’t paying attention. They’ll be fine.

    Right now it looks like the Angels passing on re-signing Cobb was a smart move.. lets see what the rest of the season looks like.

      Way too early to even think that not re-signing Cobb was a smart move. Especially since who’s to say they didn’t try? Since the injury appears to be mild, he’ll probably only miss 2 starts, maybe 3. Most pitchers in MLB these days don’t make 30+ starts.

      If by mid season he’s missed a lot more starts, then it’s reasonable to think the Angels made the right move. Until then, any thoughts along those lines, whether it was good for the Angels, or the Giants, is premature.

      It’s so early, kellin. Your sentiment is more wishful thinking than reality at this point.

    Yaz 2-5 tonight against Mets but still doesn’t look comfortable batting. It’s as though he’s not confident in himself and appears overmatched against pitchers.
