It was supposed to be Alex Cobb climbing the mound for the Baltimore Orioles on Opening Day at Yankee Stadium. Unfortunately, a groin strain led to a trip to the 10-day Injured List before the season started, giving the Opening Day start to Andrew Cashner.
After just one start, a 5.2 inning performance against the Yankees in which he gave up two earned runs and struck out four, Cobb is back on the 10-day Injured List with a forearm strain.
Cobb isn’t the only pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles going on the Injured List, as the O’s announced that Nate Karns has also been sidelined with a forearm strain.
