Alex Cobb has thrown off a mound for the first time since being hit in the head by a line drive in June.

Cobb had the bullpen session before Friday night's game against the White Sox. There is no timetable for when Cobb will pitch in a game.

"The bullpen went great," Cobb said. "It felt like I had before I got injured. Surprising because it usually feels a little awkward out there when you haven't been on the mound for a while. Getting on the mound is, obviously, a step in the right direction. I don't think we're extremely close, but we're a lot faster along than we expected."
