Right-handed pitcher Alex Cobb, the Cleveland Guardians' Game 1 starter in the American League Championship Series, is done for the postseason after aggravating a back injury on Monday night.

MLB approved Cleveland's roster substitution, which adds right-hander Ben Lively to the ALCS roster and removes Cobb. By rule, Cobb is ineligible for the World Series should the Guardians advance.
