Scott Oberg News
Pitcher Scott Oberg is retiring, per a tweet from The Gazette's Danielle Allentuck on Wednesday. Allentuck tweeted the following while also tweeting a picture of Oberg's announcement from his Instagram account: "Scott Oberg, after multiple bouts with blood clots, announces that he has accepted a part time position with the #Rockies and that he will no longer be pursuing baseball as a player." Oberg appeared in 259 games at the Major League level from 2015 through 2019, pitching to a 3.85 ERA and a 3.98 FIP. The relief pitcher's best season came in 2018 when he posted a 2.45 ERA and a 2.87 FIP in 58.2 innings of work for the Rockies.
Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Scott Oberg (elbow) has not been playing catch, and the concept of attempting a comeback at this point seems far-fetched. Four instances of a blood clot in his right forearm have derailed the right-hander's career, with the first incident coming in August of 2016 and the fourth in March of last year at spring training. A compression spot was detected in his forearm while undergoing an ultrasound exam last September, and surgery was done to clean up scar tissue and shave "down away all the area that was compressing up against the artery." "I'm not really in a rush to pick up a ball again in the near term and give it another go," Oberg said.
Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Scott Oberg has been placed on the 60-day injured list with blood clot issues. The 31-year-old RHP experienced some discomfort in his arm on Thursday morning after pitching in a "B" Game on Wednesday. He was then sent to the hospital where he underwent surgery in his right elbow to remove blood clots, a problem he's experienced in the past. He had multiple surgeries to try and fix his blood clotting issues during the offseason and also had thoracic outlet surgery on his right shoulder. Oberg's season is most likely done and his MLB future is in doubt as these blood clot issues continue to plague him.
