DENVER — The Colorado Rockies placed Chad Qualls on the Disabled List on Saturday afternoon after about a week of him not being available due to illness.
In 25.2 innings for the Rockies in 2016, Qualls has posted an ERA of 5.61 while striking out almost five batters per nine and walking a little over two.
Right-handed reliever Scott Oberg was called back up to the MLB team in a corresponding move. The Rockies have gotten the most out of this option year for Oberg, sending him down a number of times and recalling him in a pinch on numerous occasions as well.
