Rays starter Alex Cobb is not expected to travel with the club to Houston, where Tampa begins a four-game road series with the Astros Monday, MLB.com reports. Cobb will throw in Florida.
Cobb began playing catch Friday for the first time since taking a line drive off the head. He's still waiting for headaches to subside and the fluid in his inner ear to drain. That said, Cobb said his condition is definitely improving a little each day.
"The aggravating thing is I can feel good most of the day and once it gets to a couple positions I put my head in, it sets back a little bit," Cobb said Sunday. "There's no regression, it's just a reminder that I still have some fluid built up and my equilibrium is off a little bit."
He still does not have an established timetable to return to the Rays' rotation.
