5 years agoColorado Rockies reliever Scott Oberg has been placed on the 10-day IL with a blood clot in his pitching arm, likely ending his season. Oberg was recently promoted to ninth-inning duties for the club picking up five saves this season with a shiny 2.25 ERA and 58 strikeouts in 56.0 IP. It's unaware who will take over the closer's role with Wade Davis struggling this season, but he appears to be the leading candidate with a lack of options in the bullpen. Managers shouldn't rush to the waiver wire to add the veteran as he might become more of a headache than anything as a closer.--Riley Mrack - RotoBaller
