ATLANTA — Rockies’ reliever Mike Dunn, nearing his return from left A/C joint inflammation, is heading out on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday and plans to rejoin Colorado for the team’s San Francisco series starting Sept. 3 at Coors Field.
The left-hander is currently on his third disabled list stint this season, the first two coming because of a rhomboid strain and back spasms, as he plans on making his first appearance with the Isotopes on Tuesday in El Paso.
Dunn threw a simulated game on Friday at SunTrust Park prior to the Rockies’ win, and said he felt no pain from the session.
