Rusin (finger) threw a spring high 47 pitches Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits over three innings. He also successfully laid down a squeeze bunt.
Although he probably won't be ready for the start of the season, it appears that Rusin is getting extended back into being a long reliever/spot starter. He could join the rotation as Jon Gray's replacement once he does return, but the bullpen is more likely since the Rockies also have Christian Bergman to start games in the meantime.
