Colorado Rockies right-handed reliever Scott Oberg is steadily making his way back to the mound after sitting out last season due to a blood clot in his pitching arm.

It was the third time over his career a clot has surfaced. Oberg underwent thoracic outlet surgery in September. He was a little sore the day after his first spring training game. He called it a good kind of sore.

He anticipates being on the opening day roster when the Rockies start the season on April 1 against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Coors Field.
