Over the course of his career, Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Alex Cobb has suffered numerous injuries that have curtailed his time on the mound and despite the injuries, also hearing his name associated in trade rumors.
The injuries have been significant, having missed at least six-weeks or more at various times in his career. In 2011, Cobb had season-ending surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. He lost two months in 2013 following a line drive to his head off the bat off Eric Hosmer, sustaining a concussion. Then there was a left oblique strain in 2014 before undergoing Tommy John surgery and missing all of 2015 plus the majority of 2016.
