Oberg has been recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
With LaTroy Hawkins hitting the disabled list with biceps tendinitis, Oberg will rejoin the major league club in a corresponding move. Oberg has been up-and-down this season, being most recently sent down Monday after Jorge De La Rosa was activated off the disabled list.

Oberg was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
Oberg struggled after being recalled last week, giving up five runs (three earned) over 2.2 innings of relief work. He'll likely head back to the Triple-A bullpen, and could be in line for another promotion whenever the big league club is in need of another arm. The Rockies activated Jorge De La Rosa off the disabled list in a corresponding move.

Oberg was touched up for five runs (three earned) while giving up four hits and a walk and recording just one out in Sunday's 7-0 loss to the Dodgers.
Oberg entered the game with the Rockies trailing by a 2-0 margin, but saw that defend hit seven runs after he surrendered homers to Howie Kendrick, Scott Van Slyke, and Joc Pederson. The dreadful performance could put him at risk for a demotion once John Axford (personal) returns from the restricted list.

Oberg was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday, the Denver Post reports.
Oberg will serve as an extra bullpen arm while John Axford tends to a family medical emergency. To make room for Oberg on the 40-man roster, Charlie Culberson was moved to the 60-day DL. Look for Oberg's time in the majors to be short-lived.

Oberg was reassigned to minor league camp Wednesday, MLB.com's Thomas Harding reports.
Oberg will begin his fourth straight season in the minors, but if the 25-year-old continues to progress at the same pace, there's a chance he could see the big leagues by September. He did have a 12.15 ERA over a small spring sample size, but tossed scoreless outings in five of his first six appearances.
