Tiger right-handed Alex Cobb He will pull out his recovery mission and close for a week. Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press talked about this with manager AJ Hinch. Hinch set it as a way to restart Cobb’s recovery window. The pitcher’s rehabilitation task is up to 30 days. Cobb began his rehabilitation mission on July 29 and began the 30-day end. Players can complete rehabilitation tasks and start new tasks, however, according to MLB rules, it must be closed for 7 days between the two.
Essentially, it was the tiger kicking the jar on Cobb’s road again. Detroit signed a one-year, 15mm deal in the offseason, but he hasn’t pitched for major league clubs, mainly due to hip issues. He missed part of his recovery from left hip surgery in 2024, but then became inflamed during spring training in 2025. Right hip issues put him on the injured list and started the year.
He has been on his hips and trying to get back on the mound ever since. He started a rehabilitation mission in late May, but only lasted three appearances before being shut down again. He started a new rehabilitation mission about a month ago, but he seemed to be working hard at a time to put in about two innings at once. Last week, the club decided to put Cobb in a relief role to see if this could help him get back to professionalism. His ass soreness continued.
The tricky part of the calculation is that the Tigers are playing meaningful baseball. They have a big lead in the Central Division, but fight for goodbye in the first round of the playoffs. Just because Cobb is a respected veteran and earns a good salary, it doesn’t mean he can guarantee a role as the Olympics become more and more important.
“I think the goal is to have as many players as possible, people who can help us win,” Hinch said this week. “If that’s the case, then you’re in line, that’s great. We want him to stay good. We want him to be a part of it because we think these things are good all summer. He just can’t rebound. He can’t rebound as much as possible. It’s not just trying to be a good guy, and trying to get him back because his motivation is so. OK, he always can bounce back, which is what we’re working on every day.
In other news in Detroit, Hinch said this week that outfielders Parker Meadow According to Chris McCosky of the Detroit News, the recovery mission will soon begin. “He’s going to have a schedule and we’re going to see how much activities he has and how much he can handle,” Hinchi said. “It’s good. We need him to play there, we need him to run around freely.”
The injured grass is limited, with only 38 games this season. A neurological problem in his right arm caused him to retreat in spring training and in regular season. He recovered from IL in early June, but then a four-fold pull brought him back on the shelf by the end of July. These problems seemed to prevent him from entering the groove. His hit percentage between these IL tenures was only .200/.270/.296, which is a far cry from last year’s .244/.310/.433 line.
Meadows is a powerful defender in the outfield, so he can be a useful player, more offensive than the offense he has shown this year. Now, the tiger is using it Riley Greene,,,,, Wence el Pérez,,,,, Javier Báez,,,,, Jahmai Jones and Kerry Carpenter In the outfield. The return of the grass may cause the carpenter to stick as the designated hitters are more frequent or higher infield time.
