Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
After seven starts, Cobb was sitting on a 6.25 ERA and 1.55 WHIP. A 27.7% strikeout rate and 6.4% walk rate along with a 2.73 FIP and 2.39 xFIP screamed patience while his .411 BABIP and 49% LOB mark regressed. Sure enough, Cobb registered a 3.05 ERA and 1.24 WHIP the rest of the way. After starting 31 games from 2019-2021, the veteran started 28 games, collecting 149.2 frames, his most since 2018. He increased the use of his splitter while bagging his four-seam fastball and cutting back on curves. The 35-year-old righthander will be back in the Giants rotation, so he'll again benefit from a great home pitching venue. Despite avoiding the IL last season, health is a concern, but he's still a potential bargain relative to cost. Cobb is especially useful in formats where streaming is facilitated. Read Past Outlooks

Starting second game of season
Cobb will start the Giants' second game of the season Saturday versus the Yankees, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Cobb has been battling some knee discomfort lately, but he threw four innings in a minor-league game Monday, clearing the way for him to take his first turn of the regular season. Given the difficult matchup and probably a relatively limited workload for Cobb, fantasy managers might want to consider benching him this weekend.

The Giants have shown in recent years with the likes of Kevin Gausman, Anthony DeSclafani and Alex Wood that they can help veteran starters get the most out of their stuff. The departure of Buster Posey hurts, but this is still a top-shelf situation for a pitcher such as Cobb, who signed this offseason for $20 million over two years. While Cobb could be in for one of the best years of his career, the renaissance began last year with the Angels. He registered a 3.76 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and career-best 16.5 K-BB%. His 53.3 GB% was tied with Sandy Alcantara for the 11th-best mark among pitchers who threw 90-plus innings. Cobb threw his sinker and splitter a combined 79% of the time, while also mixing in his 83-mph curveball, which has above-average velocity and drop. His splitter was a whiff machine and has elite horizontal break. Finger and wrist injuries limited Cobb to 93.1 innings, and while durability isn't a strength, Cobb's skills seem bankable, especially with a more favorable team context.
