Alex Cobb's season ended abruptly due to an acute left low back strain, leaving the Cleveland Guardians with a significant gap in their pitching rotation just as they enter the critical postseason stretch.
Cobb's recent performance was hindered by multiple injuries throughout the season, culminating in only five starts, raising concerns regarding his health and the impact on the Guardians' championship hopes.
Manager Stephen Vogt noted that Cobb's discomfort came after just 2 2/3 innings against the New York Yankees, illustrating the ongoing challenges the team faces with player injuries at a crucial time.
Ben Lively, a replacement for Cobb, has a respectable ERA but lacks postseason experience, signaling a potential vulnerability within the Guardians' pitching lineup as they aim for the World Series.
