Completes another side session Cobb (wrist) tossed a 30-pitch bullpen session Monday, the Associated Press reports.
Impact The Angels are still weighing the next steps for Cobb, but since he hasn't made a start since July 23 due to right wrist inflammation, he'll likely need to prove his health during a minor-league rehab assignment or a series of simulated outings before rejoining the big-league rotation. For much of August, the Angels looked to have more than enough depth to cover for Cobb, but his absence looms larger with all of Patrick Sandoval (back), Reid Detmers (COVID-19) and Dylan Bundy (shoulder) joining him on the injured list within the past two weeks. Additionally, Shohei Ohtani's next start is in flux while he manages a right hand injury, and the team lost additional depth when Jose Quintana was claimed off waivers by the Giants on Monday.

Hopeful for return Cobb (wrist) threw a light bullpen session Wednesday, per MLB.com.
Impact Initial tests revealed no structural damage to Cobb's right (pitching) wrist, but his recovery has been much slower than expected. The veteran hurler's last game action took place July 23, so he'll likely need considerable time to ramp back into shape before a potential return. Cobb has indicated that he is hopeful he can make it back before the end of the campaign.

Not close to return Angels manager Joe Maddon said Thursday that Cobb's injured right wrist has not responded well to treatment and that the right-hander isn't ready to return, per MLB.com.
Impact When scans of Cobb's wrist taken shortly after he was placed on the injured list at the end of July revealed no structural damage, the belief was that the veteran hurler would not need an extended absence. That no longer appears to be the case, as Cobb has already been out over two weeks and still hasn't resumed throwing, according to the Associated Press. Cobb could still return to the big club before the end of the month, but only if the injured wrist begins to progress soon.
