Cleveland pitcher Alex Cobb was removed from the American League Championship Series roster after sustaining a lower back strain during the series opener against the New York Yankees. The 37-year-old right-hander left Monday's game after pitching 2 2/3 innings, and he is now ineligible to pitch for the remainder of the postseason.
Cobb expressed his disappointment, stating that missing out on contributing to the team during such a crucial moment in the postseason was particularly challenging for him. Despite being a key player, Cobb's injury has forced the Guardians to search for a Game 5 starter against the Yankees.
