3 years agoColorado Rockies relief pitcher Scott Oberg (elbow) has not been playing catch, and the concept of attempting a comeback at this point seems far-fetched. Four instances of a blood clot in his right forearm have derailed the right-hander's career, with the first incident coming in August of 2016 and the fourth in March of last year at spring training. A compression spot was detected in his forearm while undergoing an ultrasound exam last September, and surgery was done to clean up scar tissue and shave "down away all the area that was compressing up against the artery." "I'm not really in a rush to pick up a ball again in the near term and give it another go," Oberg said.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
