Bush (knee) recently began playing catch, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a certainly positive sign that Bush has recently been able to begin playing catch, though the reliever will need to begin ramping up his throwing distance and ultimately return to mound work before he's able to rejoin the Rangers' bullpen. He's eligible to come off the disabled list as early as Aug. 30, but it appears that Bush will be out well beyond that date. He remains without a firm timetable for return, though those estimates should come into focus once he's able to begin partaking in more high-intensity throwing activities.
