After dealing with various arm ailments, Alex Cobb inched closer to returning to game action by throwing a bullpen on Tuesday at Oracle Park
San Francisco Giants pitcher Alex Cobb throws a ball during throwing practice of day five of the Spring Training at Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale, Ariz., on Sunday, Feb. 18, 2024. SAN FRANCISCO — Alex Cobb attracted a bit of a crowd as he walked to the Giants’ bullpen on Tuesday afternoon at Oracle Park. Indeed, there was no shortage of players and personnel who wanted to see Cobb, once again, throw off a mound.
Cobb took an important step towards returning to game action, throwing a 20-to-25 pitch bullpen prior to Tuesday’s game against the Astros. The 36-year-old felt great, according to Melvin, mixing in breaking balls and exhibiting good velocity.

In more encouraging news for the Giants, third baseman Matt Chapman returned to the starting lineup after missing the Giants’. Chapman felt like he could play yesterday, per Melvin, but San Francisco wanted to give him one more day to recover. Chapman’s return is a relief for the Giants, who have a litany of players currently on the injured list. Even with right-hander Keaton Winn and outfielders Austin Slater and Michael Conforto recently returning, the amount of players on the shelf remains extensive, a list that includes Cobb; shortstops Nick Ahmed and Marco Luciano; left-handers Blake Snell and Robbie Ray; and catcher Tom Murphy., will need two more outings before moving on from the Giants’ rookie-level affiliate.
