Impact Bush made his first start since July 6 on Saturday and was under pressure from start to finish. He faced eight shots on target, saving six but conceding twice in the loss.

One save in draw Bush had one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Seattle Sounders FC.

Impact Bush turned aside one of two shots on target Sunday as Columbia's played to a 1-1 draw at Seattle. Over four starting appearances during which his fellow Columbus goalkeepers Patrick Schulte (oblique) and Nicholas Hagen (undisclosed) have been unavailable due to injury, the veteran keeper has made four saves and three clearances while conceding just three goals and recording one clean sheet. If Bush remains the lone healthy goalkeeper on the Columbus roster, his next opportunity will come Saturday when Columbus travel to take-on rivals Cincinnati.

Concedes once in Wednesday's win Bush made one save and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 3-1 victory against Atlanta United.

Impact Bush made his second straight start Wednesday with Patrick Schulte (oblique) and Nicolas Hagen (national team) both out and conceded one goal in a win once again. He had an easy day as he faced just two shots on target versus a struggling Atlanta side. Schulte has a chance to return for Sunday's important match versus Philadelphia, but if he is forced to miss Bush will likely make another start.

Impact Bush made his first start of the season Saturday with Patrick Schulte away with the United States national team. Bush's defense made his day very easy as the unit did not allow a single shot on target through the 90 minutes. Schulte should be back in time for Saturday's trip to D.C. United, so Bush will likely return back to the bench.

Impact Bush had some great saves, but he ultimately had an off night. In what marked his fourth appearance and start of the season, Bush has now conceded six goals in that span and he has only made seven saves. The keeper certainly does not get any help from his backline either and it showed here. Until he can gain consistent form, he is a hard pass in most formats.
