Rusin (shoulder) threw off a slope Tuesday, marking the first time he's done so since straining his shoulder earlier in the month, Nick Groke of the Denver Post reports.
The session was merely an easy game of catch, but it's good to see Rusin making some progress in his rehab process. The Rockies are planning on taking the left-hander's rehab slowly in order to avoid any hinderances in his recovery, but a firm timetable hasn't been revealed. Things should become clearer once he advances further through his rehab program.
