CLEVELAND -- Alex Cobb was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday with a broken nail by the Cleveland Guardians, who can't catch a break with their starting rotation.
The right-hander has made two starts for the AL Central leaders since being acquired in a July 30 trade from San Francisco.
The 36-year-old Cobb got his first win in nearly a year last week, allowing one run and three hits in 5â…” innings against the Chicago Cubs. He didn't pitch this season for the Giants after undergoing hip surgery in October.
Cleveland acquired Cobb to bolster a staff that has dealt with injuries all season.
To take his roster spot, the Guardians selected left-hander Anthony Gose's contract from Triple-A Columbus. The team also transferred left-hander Sam Hentges to the 60-day injured list. He hasn't pitched for Cleveland since July 10 and recently sought a second medical opinion.
The Guardians open a three-game series against the Yankees in New York on Tuesday.
