BOSTON -- Two pitchers bouncing back from arm trouble hook up when the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox play the third of their four-game series at Fenway Park on Sunday.
Alex Cobb, making his way back from Tommy John surgery, worked 7 1/3 innings his last time out as he continues his comeback from the injury that cost him most of 2014 and '15. He continues to show signs he's back.
For Boston, Drew Pomeranz, who came Boston from the San Diego Padres with a medical report on his elbow questionable enough for the Red Sox to be asked if they wanted to reverse the trade, had a forearm problem that landed him on the disabled list during spring training.
