Rockies' Chad Qualls: Eyes return during spring training
Qualls (forearm) is scheduled to throw a full bullpen session with the hope of appearing in a game before the end of March, Nick Groke of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis:
The veteran reliever's status for Opening Day is still up in the air, but if he can progress through these steps in his recovery unscathed, he could return to Colorado's relief corps in time for the regular season. However, Qualls' fantasy impact is relatively minimal due to how far down the pecking order for saves he is, as well as how much he struggled during his first season with the Rockies (5.23 ERA, 1.59 WHIP).
