Baltimore Orioles pitcher Alex Cobb (back) is expected to be activated off the injured list and start on Friday against the Minnesota Twins.
Cobb has been out since April 6 with a back injury but will return to the rotation without a rehab appearance on Friday. He threw a bullpen session without any issues on Tuesday.
Cobb went 5 2/3 innings with a 3.18 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 4 strikeouts in his only start of the year.
