Scott Oberg Playing Catch
4 years agoColorado Rockies manager Bud Black said that relief pitcher Scott Oberg (arm) is playing catch again after missing all of the 2020 season due to blood clots in his right arm. "He's slowly picking up the intensity," Black said. "Feel really good about Scotty." Without setbacks, the 30-year-old could be back to full strength by the time the 2021 season begins, which would be big for Colorado's bullpen. Oberg had a 2.25 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 56 innings for Colorado in 2019, including a career-high five saves. He has just seven saves in his five big league seasons, but he could once again factor into the ninth-inning mix next season if he proves he's past his arm issues. Consider him a deep sleeper for saves at this juncture.
