Manager Walt Weiss said that Rusin (shoulder) is scheduled to make his final rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Albuquerque before joining the team next week for their series against the Orioles, Nick Groke of the Denver Post reports.
Rusin has been on the disabled list since June 8 with a shoulder strain, but it seems like the left-hander will finally be ready to return to the Rockies after a month and a half on the shelf. The Colorado bullpen and rotation have become fairly crowded since he last pitched, so it's currently unclear whether he'll be a starter or a long reliever once he is activated. Things should become more clear following his rehab start Sunday, however.
