St. PETERSBURG Alex Cobb ended up at nearby St. Anthony’s Hospital after Saturday’s 8-0 loss to the visiting A’s after complaining of discomfort in his right hand.
The Rays didn’t provide anymore details other than Cobb was being examined by team orthopedic surgeon Dr. Koco Eaton.
“I have no idea,” manager Joe Maddon said when asked if he could shed anymore light on the topic. “He did not complain of anything during the course of the game. I was advised of the problem during the game.”
Cobb, whose 4 1/3 innings tied the shortest outing of his career, allowed five runs on seven hits.
The A’s also stole five bases against the rookie, who lost his second straight start and saw his streak of quality starts end at four games.
