The Cleveland Guardians' timeline for Alex Cobb returning to the diamond has been revealed.
First up, they acquired outfielder Lane Thomas. Adding an outfielder was a major priority and Thomas has the talent and potential to be a key impact player for the remainder of the season.San Francisco Giants'Cobb, who hasn't pitched this season due to an injury, has a long track record of success. Assuming he can get back to full health, he would be a major impact piece for Cleveland.
Guardians plan for Cobb to make 1 more rehab start upon joining the organization and then join the rotation thereafter.At 36 years old, Cobb brings a lot of valuable experience to the Guardians. He could be the piece that ends up anchoring the rotation when everything is said and done. During the 2023 season with the Giants, Cobb ended up starting in 28 games. He racked up a 7-7 record to go along with a 3.87 ERA, a 1.32 WHIP, a 3.5 K/BB ratio, and 151.1 innings pitched.It will be interesting to see how Cobb performs with the Guardians. He has the potential to be exactly the piece that the rotation needed to take the next step.
Before the trade deadline, Cleveland was already an elite World Series contender. Following their trades for Thomas and Cobb, those chances did increase. Even though the Guardians improved, most of the other contenders did as well. Hopefully, Cobb can recover quickly and get back to being a dominant force in the Cleveland rotation.
