Rusin (oblique) is progressing in his recovery from a strained oblique, but there is still no timetable for his return to Cactus League action, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
The left-hander incurred the ailment earlier in the month, and it seems like the soreness refuses to completely subside. Oblique injuries are notorious for taking a bit longer to heal, so it wouldn't be too surprising for Rusin to sit out another week or so. He does have past success on his side, but this development certainly puts his chances of garnering a rotation spot and potentially even his standing in the Rockies' pitching staff at risk.
