He should be immediately available during Thursday's game against the Dodgers.

This is even more impressive considering Rusin loses home-field advantage pitching at Coors Field. Aiding him in that regard is a ground ball rate approaching 60 percent since he moved to the bullpen. In addition, Rusin's 13 percent swinging-strike rate should result in a higher mark than last season's below-average strikeout rate, though he did ramp up his whiffs in the second half. The veteran bagged his curveball, but still throws a fastball, cutter, changeup and occasional slider, though with little more velocity he did as a starter. It's tough to get over the stigma of drafting a Rockies pitcher, but if you're looking for someone dirt cheap with strikeout upside, the team name on the front on the uniform will drive most away from the player name on the back.","seasonId":2018,"date":"Fri Mar 9"},"playerRater30DAY":-2.3,"playerRater15DAY":-0.8,"positionRank":386}
