The Cleveland Guardians named right-hander Alex Cobb as their Game 1 starter for the American League Championship Series against the New York Yankees.
Cobb will square off Monday against Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon.
After he underwent hip surgery following the 2023 season and experienced shoulder inflammation during spring training, Cobb did not make his season debut until Aug. 9 and made just three regular-season starts.
In his final start of the regular season on Sept. 1, Cobb took a perfect game into the seventh inning before giving up an infield single.
