Rick Reuschel has been dropped from the San Francisco Giants rotation and moved to the bullpen, clearing a starting spot for Kelly Downs.

“I just feel Kelly is ahead of him,” said Giant Manager Roger Craig. “He’s throwing better. Kelly was pitching extremely well until he got hurt.”

Kelly went on the 15-day disabled list two weeks ago with a deep bruise and infection in his right foot. He is eligible to come off the disabled list Wednesday and will start Wednesday’s game against the Dodgers at Candlestick Park, Craig said.
