"I feel real good," Qualls said. "Mentally, it's good not to feel it on a daily basis, and physically as well. I need to get back out there on the mound and get in some games and get going again."
Qualls posted a 5.11 ERA in 29 appearances and had struggled before going on the DL, posting an 8.53 ERA in 6 1/3 innings in nine appearances since May 29. The injury might have been affecting Qualls on the mound.
"I'd roll over in bed, and I'd kind of feel it in the back of my shoulder and scapula, and every day I would kind of feel it," Qualls said.
