Alex Cobb (strained right groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list, meaning the Giants must find a new starter for Saturday’s game against the Nationals and possibly beyond.
Yet, he maintained confidence in the Giants’ ability to backfill his spot in the rotation.
“I think as an organization, they do a lot of things right. Depth is right up there at the top of the list,” Cobb said. “I wouldn’t expect it to hurt us too much. We’ve had some key guys go down and you wouldn’t even know. That’s what championship clubs do. This front office is far beyond any other place that I’ve seen in doing that. We’re gonna need everybody in the organization to accomplish what we want to accomplish this year.
Following Tuesday’s doubleheader, manager Gabe Kapler said he had already given extensive thought to who would take Cobb’s place for at least the next two turns through the rotation, with Cobb on the 10-day IL . However, he declined to provide any insight into the Giants’ plans. So, with Cobb’s next turn in the rotation coming up Saturday against the Nationals, here’s a look at the candidates.The Giants opted to carry Long as a guy who can eat innings and make the occasional spot start, so he would seem to be the most likely candidate to step in to Cobb’s rotation spot. He appeared in a similar role last season, appearing in 12 games, including five starts, with a 5.53 ERA.
