The Rockies’ bullpen got rocked by bad news Sunday.
Right-hander Scott Oberg, who was a potential closer after a tremendous 2019 season, was placed on the 45-day injured list and will almost certainly miss the rest of the season after being diagnosed with blood clots in his right arm. It is the third time in his career that blood clots have shut down Oberg.
“For lack of a better word, it’s a bummer,” manager Bud Black said Sunday morning. “It’s going to be a while, if at all, for Scott this season.”
Also, veteran right-hander Wade Davis, who got shelled in Friday night’s home opener against the San Diego Padres, was placed on the 10-day IL with a right shoulder strain.
