Rays manager Kevin Cash indicated that Alex Cobb could start a throwing program as early as this weekend, according to the Tampa Tribune.
"Possibly," Cash said. "I wouldn't count on that for sure."
Cobb, who is not expected to be ready for the start of the season due to forearm tendinitis, was evaluated by doctors on Tuesday and said that everything checked out OK.
"I think it was pretty standard, but I think we're all excited about the progress," Cash said. "So a couple of more days and kind of see where we're at."
