The Rockies have swapped right-handed relievers with a roster move on Saturday.
DENVER — The Colorado Rockies have placed reliever Chad Qualls on the 15-day disabled list with an illness and recalled reliever Scott Oberg from Triple-A Albuquerque.
Qualls has not pitched for the Rockies since July 15 and is dealing with colitis, a chronic ailment.
“Honestly, I’m afraid to ask what colitis is,” Rockies manager Walt Weiss said.
Qualls has made 36 appearances for the Rockies this season, posting a 5.61 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in 25 2/3 innings with six walks and 14 strikeouts.
