Cobb to make long-awaited return Friday
- Updated: August 29, 2016
BOSTON — Alex Cobb will start against the Blue Jays on Friday night at Tropicana Field, completing the right-hander’s return from Tommy John surgery.
“Man, I’m happy,” Cobb said. “I’ve had some setbacks in the past where I gained another perspective for how fortunate I am to be up in the big leagues, and none’s compared to this one.
“It’s a very humbling experience to go down and be away from the game that you loved so much for so long. So to be close to where I’m at, know that I’m going to get an opportunity to pitch this year, I’m very thankful about that.”
Cobb, who has not pitched in a big league game since the 2014 season, will slide into the six-man rotation the Rays plan to use for the remainder of the season.
