NEW YORK -- Alex Cobb has likely pitched his final game in a Rays uniform.
After Tuesday night's 6-1 loss to the Yankees eliminated the Rays from having any chance at making the postseason, manager Kevin Cash announced that Cobb would be scratched from making his final start of the season Thursday night against the Yankees.
Cobb, who came up through the Rays' organization, is expected to sign elsewhere as a newly minted free agent this offseason.
"First thought is it's unfortunate, because it means we're completely eliminated from it, and you'd really enjoy having one more start that meant a lot and kept us in it," Cobb said.
