Unfortunately, the right-hander dealt with numerous blood clots throughout the course of his career which ultimately made continuing his career "untenable." The 32-year-old will stay in the game though, as he has accepted a part-time position with the Rockies. Best of luck to Oberg in this next phase of his career.

Oberg hasn't pitched for the Rockies since the 2019 campaign due to blood clots in his right elbow and hinted last May at possibly retiring. There's a strong possibility that the 32-year-old right-hander's career is over, but he's been an invaluable clubhouse presence for the Rockies' pitching staff and could have a future in coaching someday.

Oberg hasn't appeared in a major league game since August 2019 and required yet another surgery this offseason for more blood clots around his right elbow. "I’m not really in a rush to pick up a ball again in the near term and give it another go, just in the sense that (I) keep running into the risk of having to go through all of this again," the 32-year-old said. "Now, it’s not really my decision, I don’t feel at this point, really. It’s kind of a family decision just because there’s so much more on the line."

Oberg underwent another surgery for blood clots in his elbow in November. He's missed the last three seasons, and it's unclear if he'll be able to pitch again.
