The Colorado Rockies announced a few minutes ago that they will send their closer, Scott Oberg, to the 10-day injured list with axillary artery thrombosis in his right arm, which is also known as a blood clot.
In a corresponding move, the Rockies have recalled reliever DJ Johnson up from Triple-A Albuquerque.
“His arm felt heavy. It just didn’t feel normal so he was alarmed,” Colorado manager Bud Black said. “In simplest terms, blood clot in the arm, had it dissolved and from what happens today moving forward, I’ll be kept abreast of what happens.
