Overview

  • Manager A.J. Hinch confirmed Cobb was pulled off his minor-league assignment and will be shut down for seven days.
  • The reset restarts the 30-day rehab window with 32 days remaining before Detroit’s Sept. 28 regular-season finale.
  • Cobb has dealt with issues in both hips after left hip surgery in 2024 and right hip inflammation discovered in spring training.
  • Across six rehab outings at High-A and Triple-A, he logged a 2.07 ERA with 17 strikeouts in 13.1 innings but struggled to rebound between appearances.
  • Detroit has evaluated a bullpen conversion and remains in wait-and-see mode, leaving his 2025 debut and postseason availability uncertain.
