The long awaited journey back to the Tampa Bay Rays rotation is in clear sight following Tommy John surgery and months of rehabilitation for right-hander Alex Cobb.
Cobb has made seven rehab starts since returning from a brief setback that was unrelated to the surgery but to fatigue and mechanics.
He is scheduled to make one more start for Triple-A Durham on Saturday, which is the 30th and final day of his rehab assignment.

With that happening, the Tampa Bay Rays could activate him on Sept. 2 or 3 per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times and he could then be in line to pitch over the weekend against the Boston Red Sox.
