Fantasy Analysis
Cobb got the job done on the mound on Saturday and gave his team just what they needed. He was called up after Jeff Niemann landed on the disabled list. Cobb will get his second start of the season on Friday in Week 8 (May 21-27) against division foe Boston. Fantasy owners should view Cobb as a low-end pitching option in deeper mixed and AL-only formats for now. (Updated 05/19/2012).
