Cobb on IL, Guardians Rotation Struggles Continue

The Cincinnati Reds placed Jeimer Candelario on the 10-day injured list due to a fractured left great toe, potentially opening up opportunities for other players like Ty France and Amed Rosario. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Guardians placed pitcher Alex Cobb on the 15-day injured list with a fractured nail on his right hand, a setback for the team that has struggled with rotation injuries. Cobb, acquired from the San Francisco Giants, had just made his season debut on August 9 and earned a win against the Chicago Cubs last week. The Guardians have called up left-hander Anthony Gose from Triple-A Columbus to fill Cobb's roster spot and moved Sam Hentges to the 60-day IL. Cobb's injury complicates the Guardians' starting rotation as they prepare for a three-game series against the Yankees.
