Detroit Tigers pitcher Alex Cobb is expected to be sidelined for about a month due to right hip inflammation, according to manager A.J. Hinch. After a platelet-rich plasma injection following hip issues while preparing for spring training, Cobb's timeline suggests he will not be fit for the March 27 season opener against the Dodgers. The 37-year-old had surgery on his left hip last offseason and is looking to recover after a limited 2024 season where he made only three starts with the Guardians.
Cobb's recovery timeline means he is unlikely to be ready by the March 27 season opener against the host Los Angeles Dodgers.
Cobb received a platelet-rich plasma injection last week after experiencing issues with his hip while he was building his throwing volume for spring training.
An All-Star with San Francisco in 2023, Cobb is 79-76 with a 3.84 ERA in 233 career starts with various teams.
Hinch confirmed Wednesday that Alex Cobb will be sidelined for about a month with right hip inflammation.
