Cobb, trying to come back from hip problems, averaged just 90.8 mph with his sinker in the game, and all of his pitches were down 3-4 mph from last year. What he had was still good enough to retire Triple-A hitters, but he’ll probably need a bit more zip on his pitches to enjoy any major league success.

Cobb has been out all season battling lingering issues in both of his hips. The 37-year-old veteran’s odds of making it to Detroit seem a bit low at the moment, but he’s got a shot to contribute at some point by late August or early September, if he manages to avoid any further setbacks.

The 37-year-old right-hander has missed the entire season due to issues with both of his hips, but he now feels like he needs just one more bullpen session before he’ll be ready to head out on a second minor league rehab assignment. His last rehab stint lasted three starts and 6 1/3 innings before he was ultimately shut down over lingering hip issues. At this point, anything the Tigers get from him this season would be a bonus.

Cobb also walked three and struck out two. He threw just 26 of his 49 pitches for strikes. He’ll likely need at least two more starts at this rate, unless the Tigers feel like calling him up to form a piggyback situation with Sawyer Gipson-Long, whose innings are being limited while returning from surgery.

Cobb tossed 2 1/3 scoreless frames last Friday in his latest rehab outing for High-A West Michigan. The oft-injured 37-year-old veteran will likely need a few additional outings to continue building up his pitch count and stamina, but he’s inching towards his season debut after missing the first couple months with a hip ailment.

Cobb didn’t allow a hit in the contest while walking two and striking out two. He threw 34 pitches in the ballgame, 18 of them for strikes. The 37-year-old hurler has a long buildup ahead of him after missing all of spring training and the first two-plus months of the regular season. He has looked sharp so far though, with 4 1/3 scoreless frames allowing just one hit and two walks. He’s at least a couple of weeks away from being an option to help out the Tigers.

The right-hander recorded three strikeouts on the evening and didn’t walk a batter. Cobb threw 24 pitches in the game, 16 of those for strikes. His fastball averaged around 93 mph and was well-located throughout his start. He didn’t pitch at all during spring training, so it’s going to be a lengthy build up before he’s an option to join the Tigers’ rotation.

The Tigers needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster for the arrival of Dylan Smith on Friday, so this move made obvious sense. Cobb, 37, has yet to pitch for the Tigers after signing a one-year, $15 million contract over the winter. He’s progressing towards a minor league rehab assignment though and if all goes well he could be an option to help out their rotation before the month of June is through. That’s good news, as they just lost Jackson Jobe (elbow) to the injured list on Friday and could use some reinforcements.
