Oh (elbow) agreed to a one-year contract Wednesday with the Samsung Lions of the Korea Baseball Organization on a deal worth approximately $490,000, Jeeho Yoo of the Yonhap News Agency reports.

EDGE Analysis

On the heels of a four-season stint in MLB, Oh will return overseas after the Rockies released him July 28. He'll miss the remainder of the KBO season while recovering from elbow surgery, but Oh is expected to re-sign with the Lions over the winter and return to action at some point in May. While he's on the mend, Oh will be able to serve a 72-game suspension he received for a prior gambling-related conviction in Korea. Oh turned 37 years old in July and seems unlikely to resurface in North America at this stage of his career.

Oh (elbow) was officially released by Colorado on Sunday, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oh was designated for assignment Tuesday and is out for the season due to right elbow surgery, so it's not a major surprise to see him released as he heads into free agency. The 37-year-old was acquired by the Rockies at the 2018 trade deadline and struggled this season with a 6.72 ERA and 1.91 WHIP across 18.1 innings.

Oh (elbow) was designated for assignment Tuesday by the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Oh is already headed for season-ending surgery, so the Rockies will clear a spot on the 40-man roster by sending him to waivers. Yonder Alonso is set to have his contract selected in a corresponding move. The 37-year-old right-hander posted a 9.33 ERA and 1.91 WHIP with 16 punchouts over 18.1 frames in 2019.

Oh (abdomen) will undergo surgery on his right elbow to remove loose particles and will miss the remainder of the 2019 season, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oh has been on the injured list since June 10 with a left abdominal strain but will now be sidelined for several months due to the elbow surgery. The 37-year-old will finish the season with a 9.33 ERA and 1.91 WHIP in 21 appearances, and he'll enter the 2020 season with some uncertainty due to his age, the injury and the fact he'll be a free agent.

Oh (abdomen) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Friday at Coors Field, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oh threw a bullpen session earlier in the week with no issues, clearing the way for him to face hitters for the first time since landing on the shelf earlier in June. The Rockies will wait until after Friday's live BP session before determining the next step in his recovery, but it sounds like Oh is closing in on a rehab assignment.

EDGE Analysis

Oh hasn't pitched since May 30, but he seems to be trending in the right direction, as he tossed this high-intensity, 36-pitch session and didn't come through with any setbacks. Per Newman, Oh said the next step in his rehab will be a simulated game back at Coors Field. The 36-year-old right-hander had been struggling this season, with 19 earned runs in 18.1 innings before he hit the injured list.

Oh was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left abdominal strain, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This helps explain why Oh hasn't pitched since May 30. The severity of the injury is not yet clear, leaving the veteran reliever without a timetable for his return. Look for Scott Oberg, Carlos Estevez and Jake McGee to handle the majority of setup duties while Oh is on the shelf. Phillip Diehl was summoned from the minors in a corresponding move.

Oh (neck) is listed among the Rockies' available bullpen arms for Thursday's Cactus League game against the Cubs, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

it's unclear if the Rockies will turn to Oh once starter Antonio Senzatela departs from the contest, but the reliever's inclusion on the lineup card implies that he's moved past the stiff back that had been bothering him for nearly a week. The brevity of Oh's absence means he should be ready to open the season as one of the top setup men for closer Wade Davis.

EDGE Analysis

Oh has been battling a stiff neck for the past few days, but the issue doesn't seem likely to keep him out for long. He should still have plenty of time to get up to speed by Opening Day, barring setbacks.

Oh is considered day-to-day as he is dealing with neck stiffness, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The neck issue could help explain Oh's outing Saturday, as he gave up a pair of two-run home runs and four total hits over two-thirds of an inning. The veteran right-hander apparently slept wrong and will likely take a couple days off to recover.
