Rockies inching closer to finalizing roster
Cristhian Adames hits a sharp line drive to right that scores Trevor Story, getting the Rockies on the board in the bottom of the 4th inningPEORIA, Ariz. -- Righty reliever Scott Oberg, switch-hitting infielder Cristhian Adames and right-handed hitting outfielder-first baseman Stephen Cardullo were rewarded for standout springs with spots on the Rockies' Opening Day roster, manager Bud Black announced Friday afternoon.
Oberg, who pinballed between Triple-A Albuquerque and the Majors the last two seasons, posted a 2.16 ERA in nine Spring Training games going into Friday night against the Mariners. His work allowed the Rockies to designate veteran righty Jason Motte for assignment Friday.
