San Francisco Giants pitcher Alex Cobb has experienced a setback in his recovery due to elbow soreness, as confirmed by multiple sources. An MRI revealed a mild strain but came back clean, indicating no severe injury. Cobb remains optimistic, expecting to resume throwing by Monday. This issue is tied to some flexor tendon inflammation and comes after Cobb was making significant progress in his recovery from offseason hip surgery. Despite the setback, which will see him shut down for a few days, Cobb and the Giants are cautious but not overly concerned, acknowledging that it slightly alters his timeline for returning to the rotation.
