DENVER -- With a tired bullpen, the Rockies recalled right-hander Scott Oberg from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.
The Rockies placed right-hander Chad Qualls on the 15-day disabled list (colitis), retroactive to July 16. With Qualls unavailable, there had been more pressure on other relievers.
"We knew it would take a few more days before [Qualls would] be able to go out and compete, so we felt like we needed to make a move," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "Oberg is throwing the ball really well. We're looking forward to seeing Scotty out there.
