ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Alex Cobb favours pitchers having the option of wearing protective headgear on the mound. Cobb returned to Tropicana Field on Monday, nine days after being struck in the right ear by a ball hit by Kansas Citys Eric Hosmer and nearly seven weeks after Torontos J.A. Happ also was hit in the head by a batted ball while pitching there. Sitting on a platform in the auxiliary clubhouse in which Happ also answered questions about the scary incident that knocked him out of a game in early May, Cobb -- who is making progress in his recovery, spoke to the media for the first time since being carted off the field and taken to a hospital on June 15. Cobb, like Happ, was released from Bayfront Medical Center less than 24 hours later. "I remember deciding what pitch to throw. ... I remember seeing the ball come back," said Cobb, who is out indefinitely with a concussion. "Might have caught a glance of the ball and subconsciously turned my head, thankfully." The injury renewed debate about what can be done to protect pitchers from batted balls. "Even after J.A. Happ went through this, we were asked pretty heavily about this topic. I came right out and thought there should be something for us to have the option to do," Cobb said. "I dont want it to turn into something where every pitcher on the mound has to wear something. Thats everybodys personal choice," Cobb added. "Its one where you want to have a little say-so that if this incident happened again you were able to do everything you could to protect yourself, your future, your family." Cobb, who remained conscious the whole time, said he has experienced nausea, severe headaches that have begun to subside, as well as symptoms of vertigo. Still, he is beginning to feel better each day. "Im having my days," the 25-year-old Cobb said. "Today has been the best day by far." Cobb said he visited the doctor Monday and was told he is healing quicker than expected. There is still no timetable for him to return to the mound. "Thats something you just have to let play out," Rays manager Joe Maddon said before Tampa Bay opened a three-game series against the Blue Jays, who are still without Happ. "I dont like to apply finish lines to items that I really have no clue (about). I dont think anybody does," Maddon said. "Even if you talk to doctors, Im sure theyre not sure how long its going to take. ... So just let it play out. "Hell let us know when hes ready for that next moment, and well take it from there." After initially being reluctant to watch a replay of the line drive, Cobb said he watched it later that night or the following morning. He said he initially thought the injury wasnt that serious, and wanted to get up and walk off the field. It wasnt until after the ambulance ride to the hospital, where he later overheard a nurse talking about, "how she couldnt believe this is happening again within a month" that he began to think about Happ. "When it happened I didnt think it was too big of a deal. ... It didnt sink in for a while," Cobb said. "Once I got the CATSCAN going and they told me there was no bleeding inside the brain, from there I was kind of at ease with the whole situation." There has been speculation that Cobb, who is 6-2 with a 3.01 ERA in 13 starts this year, might not pitch again this season. He said that isnt true. "Ill be ready to go as soon as my body tells me Im 100 per cent," he said. "But mentally, theres no doubt in my mind Ill be fine. Its just another challenge." He conceded, though, that it is difficult to imagine what it will be like when he does finally get back on a mound and faces hitters. "I dont think thats something you can say until you actually go through it," Cobb said. "Id love to sit up here and tell you no, that once I get out there Ill have the mindset that it happened once, its probably a pretty good chance its not going to happen to me again. "But Im not going to lie. Ive had some nightmares about how bad it could have been. Its obviously in the back of my mind, but Id like to think I could pitch through it."

The two midfielders have been key players in Leicesters odds-defying title win under Claudio Ranieri this season, with Mahrez named PFA Player of the Year.However, Merson says the pair will be targeted by a number of top clubs during the transfer window and could be tempted by a move.I worry Riyad Mahrez and NGolo Kante could leave, Merson told Sky Sports.I dont see a problem with Jamie Vardy, as I dont think anyone will pay a lot of money for him at 29 years old, but the other two stars are a worry. Id be shocked if those two [Mahrez and Kante] were there next season. Paul Merson Kante will be at the Euros and his France team-mates will be going: Oh, my manager wants you. Thats how it works and hes going to have his head twisted.Id be shocked if those two were there next season. Signing of the season? Why NGolo Kante is the signing of the season after his pivotal role in Leicesters title triumph. Leicester boss Ranieri told Sky Sports on Tuesday that he is keen to keep his title-winning squad together next season but insisted he would allow unhappy players to leave in order to protect the spirit in his camp.The Italian also revealed Leicester would be looking to strengthen their squad for their Premier League defence in 2016/17, when they will also have to manage a Champions League campaign. If some players dont want to stay with us because they are unhappy to continue with us, then I dont want unhappy people. Claudio Ranieri I dont want to sell anybody but of course if some players dont want to stay with us because they are unhappy to continue with us, then I dont want unhappy people, said Ranieri. We are looking to reinforce the team but with the same mentality, because thhis is my mentality and this is their mentality.dddddddddddd We all linked very well together. Whoever comes in must know we are working hard. Claudio Ranieri thinks Leicesters Premier League title run cannot be replicated Merson expects Leicesters plans for summer signings to already be well underway but suggests they would most likely lose out to the likes of Manchester City and Manchester United in a race to sign big-name players .I dont know who they can bring in, he said. Theyre going to have to use all of Ranieris experience bringing in players that other people dont know about and arent going for. How Leicester did it differently Leicesters Premier League win has been like no other. Heres how they did it their way... They arent going to get a player that Manchester City and Manchester United are trying to sign, even though theyre champions.I think their business will be done very quietly and very quickly, they wont mess about. Theyre probably doing it right now as we speak, thats how theyll have to work, theres no doubt about it. Also See: Kante: Signing of the season?
