INJURIES

Not on ALCS roster Bush wasn't included on the Rangers' roster for the ALCS against the Astros, which begins Sunday night in Houston, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning Newsreports.
Impact The veteran right-hander didn't take the mound in the first two rounds of the playoffs for Texas, and he's off the roster for championship series. Max Scherzer (shoulder) and Jon Gray (forearm) have been added to the roster, taking the spots of Bush and Brock Burke.

SEPTEMBER 30 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Selected from Triple-A The Rangers selected Bush's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.
Impact Bush last pitched in the majors for the Brewers on June 30, but he was DFA'd and later released after posting a 9.58 ERA and 1.65 WHIP over 10.1 innings. He signed a minor-league deal with Texas in July and has bounced back nicely by allowing just three runs in 12.2 innings in Triple-A. Bush will give the Rangers a fresh arm in their bullpen as they attempt to lock down a spot in the playoffs. Jake Latz was optioned to Round Rock, and Alex Speas was designated for assignment in corresponding moves.

Rangers sign RHP Matt Bush to minor league deal Reliever Matt Bush is back in the Texas Rangers organization after signing a minor league contract this week
JULY 12 • DEADSPIN.COM
Lands back with Rangers Bush signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Monday.
Impact It's a homecoming for Bush, who spent four-and-a-half seasons with the Rangers before being traded to the Brewers at last year's deadline. Bush was released by Milwaukee following a 9.58 ERA and a decline in velocity, but he'll hope to get back on track in a familiar organization. The 37-year-old has been assigned to Double-A Frisco for now.
JULY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Released by Brewers Bush was released Monday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Bush passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment and has now been given his unconditional release. The 37-year-old holds a 9.58 ERA in 2023, but given his past success and fact that he can now be had at the prorated minimum, he shouldn't have trouble finding a new home shortly.
JULY 3 • ROTOWIRE
Designated for assignment Bush was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Saturday.
Impact Bush was acquired from the Rangers at last year's trade deadline but stumbled to a 4.30 ERA down the stretch. His numbers fell off a cliff this season, with his ERA spiking to 9.58 as his strikeout rate plunged to 20.8 percent and his walk rate jumped to 12.5 percent. He allowed five home runs in 10.1 innings of work. His downturn in performance is paired with a big drop in velocity, with his fastball sitting at 94.8 mph after averaging 97.4 mph last season. That may make him an unappealing option on waivers despite his past success.

Brewers reliever Matt Bush returns from the injured list after missing two months

The Milwaukee Brewers have activated reliever Matt Bush after he missed two months with an injury to his right rotator cuff
JUNE 23 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Reinstated from IL The Brewers reinstated Bush (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Friday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Bush had been shelved for nearly two months with right shoulder tendinitis but will now return to the Brewers' bullpen, forcing Trevor Megill back to Triple-A Nashville. The 37-year-old reliever made six appearances during his rehab assignment and threw five scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and four walks while striking out six.
JUNE 23 • ROTOWIRE
Ready for rehab assignment Bush (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Because Bush has been on the shelf since April 24 with right rotator cuff tendinitis, he'll likely need to build back up over the course of multiple rehab appearances in the minors before being deemed ready to rejoin the Milwaukee bullpen. Prior to being shut down with the injury, Bush logged an 8.22 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over 7.2 innings with Milwaukee.

APRIL 25 • JSONLINE.COM
Lands on IL with shoulder injury Bush was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Brewers on Monday with right rotator cuff tendinitis.
Impact Bush was roughed up for four runs while recording just one out in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox, so it checks out that he might not have been 100 percent. The veteran reliever has a long history of arm issues, although they've mostly been elbow-related.
APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE
Picks up first save Bush earned a save against the Mariners on Wednesday, retiring both batters he faced in the ninth inning.
Impact Milwaukee entered the ninth with Peter Strzelecki on the mound and a three-run lead. However, Strzelecki was pulled after allowing a run to score, and Bush was summoned with the bases loaded and one out. The right-hander induced a foul out and a pop out to extinguish the threat and pick up his first save of the campaign. Devin Williams was unavailable after working two of the team's previous three games, so there's no reason to expect Bush to see regular save opportunities moving forward, though he would likely be a popular fantasy pick-up if Williams were to miss time.
APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE
Tosses clean inning Bush struck out three batters over a scoreless inning of relief in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning victory over the Mariners.
Impact Bush had allowed at least one runner to reach base in five straight appearances, but he got back on track Tuesday, punching out all three batters he faced. His control issues have opened the door for other relievers to enter the setup mix, but Bush was the last pitcher to enter Tuesday's game before closer Devin Williams, so it appears he remains the preferred option in that spot.

Tellez's homer, sac fly help Brewers to 4-3 win over Padres

Rowdy Tellez hit a two-run homer in the first inning and a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the 10th for the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers, who beat the San Diego Padres 4-3
APRIL 14 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Fires scoreless eighth frame Bush tossed a scoreless eighth inning in Wednesday's 7-6 victory over the Mets.
Impact Bush was not credited with a hold because Wednesday's contest was tied when he entered the game, but he was the last reliever to enter in front of closer Devin Williams, who was the pitcher of record when the Brewers walked off with the win in the bottom of the ninth inning. Bush had a rough start to the exhibition season, but he closed out the spring with two scoreless appearances and has matched that since the real games began. Based on early bullpen usage, consider Bush the setup man in Milwaukee.
APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE
Cleared for spring debut Bush is scheduled to make his spring debut Wednesday in the Brewers' exhibition game against the Great Britain team, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Bush ended the past season on the injured list with a non-COVID-19-related illness, but the ailment wasn't anything that affected his preparation heading into spring training. Instead, the Brewers seem to have been using their Cactus League games to date to get an extended look at some of the relievers who are less locked into the Opening Day roster than Bush, who projects to serve as one of the top setup men for closer Devin Williams. After coming over from the Rangers in an Aug. 1 trade last season, Bush turned in a 4.30 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 29:8 K:BB in 23 innings while gathering two saves and nine holds. He became arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter, ultimately striking an agreement with the Brewers on a one-year, $1.85 million contract in November, per Robert Murray of FanSided.com.
