Rays starting pitcher Alex Cobb is ready to return from the disabled list for Thursday's start against the Mariners, his first since taking a line drive off his head June 15.
"I'll probably get those first-time-out jitters and the adrenaline going," Cobb told MLB.com Tuesday. "I'm really looking forward to getting out there again."
Rays manager Joe Maddon said he will likely limit Cobb to around 90 pitches in his first start. He had a 3.01 ERA and 6-2 record prior to the injury.
