Dealing with groin injury Cobb was diagnosed with a right groin injury after leaving Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader during the fifth inning, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cobb surrendered three runs (two earned) on six hits with four strikeouts and zero walks over 4.1 innings prior to his exit. The severity of the injury remains uncertain, and the veteran right-hander should be considered questionable for his next turn through the rotation until the Giants update his status.

Whiffs 10 in win Cobb (1-0) got the win in Tuesday's 13-2 victory over the Padres, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks with 10 strikeouts in five innings.

Impact Making his San Francisco debut, Cobb and his new team dominated early as he was staked to a 10-1 lead while recording five of his six outs via strikeout after two innings. Due to the blowout, the 34-year-old was afforded the luxury of going the minimum five innings and tossing an easy 83 pitches. He's set to face the Mets in New York on Monday for an encore.

Velocity up this spring Multiple scouts have heard that Cobb, whose fastball averaged 93 mph last season, is hitting 97 mph this spring, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.com.

Impact Cobb's four-seamer and sinker each topped out at 95 mph last season, so if he has indeed added a couple ticks to his fastball, he could be in for a career year. The 34-year-old righty was excellent across 93.1 innings last season with the Angels, logging a career-high 16.5 K-BB% and a 53.3 GB%. If he can build back up to the 150-plus innings he logged in 2017 and 2018, Cobb could be one of the best fantasy values on the pitching side this year.

Reaches deal with Giants Cobb agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract with the Giants on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact According to Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News, the deal includes a $10 million team option for 2024 with a $2 million buyout. Cobb spent 2021 with the Angels and was limited to 18 starts by a wrist injury, but he was effective when healthy with a 3.76 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 98:33 K:BB in 93.1 innings. He should slot into the middle of San Francisco's starting rotation in 2022.

Struggles in no-decision Cobb yielded five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five across five innings during Thursday's loss to the Rangers. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact It was a bit of a clunker for Cobb, who went six consecutive outings without allowing more than one earned run prior to Thursday. All of the right-hander's damage came via long balls, including a three-run homer by DJ Peters in the third and a two-run shot by Adolis Garcia in the fifth frame. Cobb finishes off the regular season with a 3.76 ERA and 1.26 WHIP.
