"Kind of a lingering toe issue that I felt the last game," Cobb said. "Talked to [head athletic trainer] Ron [Porterfield] and [manager Kevin] Cash and all those guys about it afterward, and monitored it. Saw that the next day it was still there a little bit and decided just to be smart with it. With the new 10-day [DL], it's nice [to miss] only miss a start."
Cobb allowed that it's "just something we'd like to get knocked out in August."
"So when you get down to that stretch in September, you can be 100 percent and feel good," Cobb said.
