The 37-year-old hurler is working his way back from a right hip injury and now it looks like his other hip is causing him problems as well. The perils of growing old. They’ll wait a few days to see how he responds to that before resuming his minor league rehab assignment.

Cobb also walked three and struck out two. He threw just 26 of his 49 pitches for strikes. He’ll likely need at least two more starts at this rate, unless the Tigers feel like calling him up to form a piggyback situation with Sawyer Gipson-Long, whose innings are being limited while returning from surgery.

Cobb tossed 2 1/3 scoreless frames last Friday in his latest rehab outing for High-A West Michigan. The oft-injured 37-year-old veteran will likely need a few additional outings to continue building up his pitch count and stamina, but he’s inching towards his season debut after missing the first couple months with a hip ailment.

Cobb didn’t allow a hit in the contest while walking two and striking out two. He threw 34 pitches in the ballgame, 18 of them for strikes. The 37-year-old hurler has a long buildup ahead of him after missing all of spring training and the first two-plus months of the regular season. He has looked sharp so far though, with 4 1/3 scoreless frames allowing just one hit and two walks. He’s at least a couple of weeks away from being an option to help out the Tigers.
