Alex Cobb was put on the 15-day injured list on Monday by the Cleveland Guardians due to a broken nail, adding to the team’s rotation troubles.

Cobb, who was acquired from San Francisco in a trade on July 30, has made two starts for the AL Central leaders. At 36 years old, Cobb earned his first win in nearly a year last week by allowing one run and three hits in 5 2/3 innings against the Chicago Cubs.

He had not pitched this season for the Giants due to hip surgery last October.

Cleveland brought Cobb in to strengthen a rotation that has faced injuries throughout the season.

To fill Cobb’s spot on the roster, the Guardians promoted left-hander Anthony Gose from Triple-A Columbus. They also moved left-hander Sam Hentges to the 60-day injured list. Hentges, who hasn’t pitched since July 10, recently sought a second medical opinion.

The Guardians will start a three-game series against the Yankees in New York on Tuesday.
