Activated for Sunday's start Cobb (groin) was activated from the 10-day injured list and will start Sunday against the Nationals, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact The 34-year-old was already confirmed as San Francisco's starter for Sunday, and he's now officially back on the active roster. Cobb spent little more than the 10-day minimum on the shelf and figures to have some minor workload restrictions in his first start back from the groin strain.

Likely starting Sunday vs. Nats Cobb (groin) will likely come off the injured list to start Sunday against the Nationals, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact On the one hand, Cobb won't line up to face the Dodgers next week, but on the other hand, his fantasy managers in weekly leagues probably left him on their benches this week. Cobb completed a two-inning side session Thursday in preparation to be activated Sunday.

Two-inning side session Cobb (groin) threw a two-inning side session Thursday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
Impact With Jakob Junis getting sent to the minors Friday, it would seem that things are lining up for Cobb to return to the rotation Tuesday on the road against the Dodgers, although that has not been confirmed. Cobb's increased fastball velocity had him looking like he was in for a potential career year prior to suffering the groin injury.

Bullpen session set for Thursday Cobb (groin) will throw a bullpen session Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact The right-hander threw 30 pitches at about 70 percent intensity in a bullpen session Monday, but he's expected to ramp things up at Thursday's session. Cobb is unlikely to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Saturday, but if all goes well Thursday he may be able to return sometime next week.

Needs another bullpen session Cobb (groin) needs at least one more bullpen session before returning from the injured list, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Cobb threw a 30-pitch bullpen session Monday but was only throwing at 70 percent intensity. Whie the session seemingly went well, he'll need to throw at full capacity before the Giants are comfortable activating him. He's eligible to return Saturday, but it looks as though he may need at least a few extra days.

Throwing off mound Cobb (groin) will throw off a mound Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Cobb resumed playing catch Friday, and he'll be able to resume mound work less than a week after he landed on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 groin strain. He's eligible to return to game action as early as April 30, and he's made encouraging progress in his recovery so far. However, a better idea of the right-hander's status will likely be revealed based on how he feels following Monday's throwing session.

Impact Cobb landed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a Grade 1 groin strain, but he's downplayed the severity of the issue. He's optimistic that he won't require a lengthy stay on the IL, and it's encouraging that he's already resumed playing catch. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return when first eligible April 30, but he's unlikely to be sidelined very long.
