It appears Wade Davis will be getting a role change, at least according to Rockies manager Bud Black.

Black announced before Friday's game against the Giants that Davis is being removed from his closer spot, as he just hasn't been cutting it down the stretch.

“For the time being, Scott Oberg will look to pitch later in the game, potentially in the ninth inning,” Black said. “Wade is going to take a step back, and we will see where this goes for the short term.”

Davis has a 6.82 ERA this season and an abysmal 11.29 ERA at Coors Field. The three-time All-Star is 1-5 and has 15 saves in 36 appearances. He recorded a National League-best 43 saves in 2018 but has struggled to replicate that success.

Colorado has dropped off significantly since 2018. The Rockies were 91-72 last year and finished second to the Dodgers in the National League West. But this year they are dead-last in the division with a 51-59 record. Making the postseason is an afterthought at this point.

Black is hoping that throwing a new arm like Oberg's into the mix can give the Rockies a spark late in games. A right-hander, Oberg, 29, is 5-1 with a 1.56 ERA in 45 appearances this season.
