Chris Rusin News
Free-agent left-handed pitcher Chris Rusin agreed to a minor-league deal with the Colorado Rockies. Rusin appeared in one game with the Braves last season before being designated for assignment. He was with the Rockies from 2015-2019 before that and operated as both a starter and a reliever. The 34-year-old holds a 4.65 ERA and 1.42 WHIP over his nine-year career. He'll work in their alternate site and serve as reliever depth until the big league club requires his services. If and when he's called up he should be avoided in fantasy leagues as he won't work high-leverage situations.
Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Chris Rusin has cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque. Rusin allowed four runs over his two appearances (one inning) this season. The 32-year-old had solid numbers in 2017, posting a 2.65 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with 71 strikeouts over 85 innings, but fell off last season and looks like he still needs to figure some things out before returning any value to the Rockies or fantasy owners.
The Colorado Rockies received some positive news Thursday as a pair of their pitchers threw successful bullpen sessions. Jake McGee has been out for a month with an MCL sprain in his knee, but he threw a successful bullpen session as he inches closer towards a return. The 32-year-old has made just two appearances for the big league club this year. Chris Rusin, meanwhile, has been sidelined with a back injury since late March but has been steadily progressing, with the latest move being the aforementioned bullpen session on Thursday. The 32-year-old posted a 6.09 ERA last season in 49 appearances.
