Giants’ rotation is back to 3 healthy starters with the loss of Cobb, whose 3.09 ERA was eighth-best in the NL.
LOS ANGELES — Just as the Giants’ number of healthy starting pitchers grew to four on Saturday, their rotation shrank back to three starters Sunday morning.
Cobb, 35, has been one of the majors’ most effective starters this season, teaming up with Logan Webb to form a formidable one-two punch. In 14 starts, including one complete game shutout, Cobb had a 3.09 ERA, eighth-best in the National League, with 76 strikeouts to 21 walks, the No. 10 K:BB ratio in the NL.
Nonetheless, any injury is a significant blow to an already shorthanded rotation, particularly to one of its top two arms. Oblique injuries are notoriously tricky, meaning Cobb’s absence could be an extended one, depending on the severity revealed by an MRI.
