Rusin (finger) will not be in the rotation to start the season after manager Walt Weiss announced that the Rockies would be going with a four-man rotation to start the season, Nick Groke of the Denver Post reports.
Rusin was thought to be an option to join the rotation once his finger was healthy, but it appears that they are content with him simply joining the bullpen. If Jon Gray (abdomen) is out longer than expected, though, the left-hander could get some starts later in the month.
