Bush was non-tendered by the Rangers on Friday, becoming a free agent.

EDGE Analysis

Bush inked a minor-league contract with Texas this past July, a week after being released by the Brewers, but he did not wind up making an appearance at the MLB level for the eventual World Series champions. The 37-year-old reliever may have to settle for another minor-league deal this winter if he wants to continue his playing career.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Rangers selected Bush's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Bush signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Bush was released Monday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Bush was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Bush (shoulder) was activated from the 15-day injured list Friday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 37-year-old 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. Bush made six appearances during his rehab assignment, throwing five innings while giving up one unearned run and striking out six batters.

Bush (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Brewers placed Bush on the 15-day injured list Monday with right rotator cuff tendinitis.

EDGE Analysis

Bush was roughed up for four runs and showed diminished velocity 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 plan is for Bush to be shut down for 2-to-4 weeks before he's re-evaluated, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Bush earned a save against the Mariners on Wednesday, retiring both batters he faced in the ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

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.
