With Alex Cobb in question, SF Giants add starting pitcher in trade with Blue Jays
SAN FRANCISCO — With Alex Cobb suffering a second setback in his recovery from offseason surgery, the Giants began shifting the eggs in their starting rotation to another basket. On Saturday, they struck a deal with the Toronto Blue Jays to acquire Mitch White and transferred Cobb to the 60-day injured list. White, 29, gives the Giants additional depth in their bullpen and rotation. He has appeared in 62 career games between the Blue Jays and Dodgers, starting 22 of them, with a 4.99 ERA, but was designated for assignment by Toronto this week when the Blue Jays activated two pitchers from the IL.
