Thomas Harding of MLB.com is reporting tonight that Colorado Rockies reliever Scott Oberg underwent surgery on Thursday night in Scottsdale for recurring blood clots in his right elbow.
As a result, Harding says that this procedure “likely will end” Oberg’s career.
It is the fourth such instance that Oberg has had the recurring blood clots in his arm as his 2016 season was cut short by them.
