Orioles right-hander Alex Cobb has returned to the injured list, this time with a lumbar strain.
The team made the announcement hours before Tuesday night’s matchup with the Oakland Athletics. Cobb, who held the New York Yankees to two runs in 5 2/3 innings in his only start of 2019, was expected to start Wednesday, the third game in Baltimore’s four-game set with the A’s. The move is retroactive to Saturday, and a 25-man roster replacement has yet to be announced.
Cobb, 31, began the season on the injured list because of right groin soreness.
