Rusin (finger) was able to play catch Wednesday, marking his first such activity in six days, Nick Groke of The Denver Post reports.
Rusin has tended to inflammation in his left middle finger for about a week, forcing the southpaw off the mound for a scheduled Cactus League start last Friday. It remains to be seen when he'll be ready for game action, but as long as he avoids a setback, he should resume the drive for one of the Rockies' final rotation spots in short order.
