The procedure, performed by Dr. Marc Philippon, will prevent Cobb from pitching for approximately six months. Without accounting for typical six-week build up he will miss in spring training, that means Cobb won’t begin to pitch again until about the start of May.One of only two Giants pitchers to log at least 20 starts and 150 innings, Cobb was named an All-Star for the first time in 2023, finishing with a 3.87 ERA while throwing his most innings since 2018.
