ST. PETERSBURG -- Alex Cobb played catch Saturday for the first time since undergoing season-ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow.
Everything well went well for the Rays right-hander, who said he visited Dr. James Andrews on Monday to receive clearance to begin activity.
Expected to be the Rays' Opening Day starter, Cobb did not pitch in a game this season after first experiencing forearm tightness in Spring Training, which percolated into surgery on May 13.
Cobb threw 20 tosses on flat ground with head athletic trainer Ron Porterfield on Saturday. Afterward, Cobb said he does not know what plan he will follow going forward, other than to say he expects to throw every two days.
