Cobb aggravates blister after 4 pitches, exits

NEW YORK -- After being sidelined for nearly two weeks with a blister, Alex Cobb took the mound at Yankee Stadium on Sunday, but he threw just four pitches before being removed from the game.

In his last start on Sept. 11 vs. the A's, Cobb was pulled after just two innings due to the blister on his right middle finger. At that point, his return was questionable for the remainder of the season, but the hurler felt as if he could make at least one more trip to the mound after two successful bullpen sessions over the past week.
