The Milwaukee Brewers reinstated relief pitcher Matt Bush (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list on Friday and optioned right-hander Trevor Megill to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday in a corresponding move. Bush returns to Milwaukee's bullpen after spending almost two months on the shelf with right-shoulder tendinitis. The 37-year-old veteran right-hander wasn't pitching well before his injury, allowing seven runs on six hits (four homers) while walking six and striking out eight in 7 2/3 ...

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitcher Matt Bush (shoulder) will begin a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday. The 37-year-old reliever has been out since late April with right rotator cuff tendinitis. He scuffled to start the season, putting up an 8.22 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, and 8:6 K/BB ratio over 7 2/3 innings of relief. Ideally, he comes back and serves as the setup man for Devin Williams but he has a lot to prove at this point.

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Matt Bush recorded his first save of the season, beating the Seattle Mariners 5-3 on Wednesday. Bush pitched 2/3 of an inning, allowing no hits or earned runs to clinch the save. The 37-year-old is 1-for-2 in save opportunities this year. Bush has a 3.68 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and eight strikeouts in 7 1/3 innings this season. Given that Devin Williams is the designated closer, Bush is expected to have limited opportunities to earn saves, likely only being called upon...

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Matt Bush earned his second save of the season and his first with his new team in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rays. Bush came in to protect a two-run lead and delivered a 1-2-3 inning with two strikeouts. MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reported that Devin Williams needed a day of rest after his heavy workload recently and Taylor Rogers (knee) was unavailable due to a cortisone injection in his knee. Bush has pitched well overall this season with a 3.38 ERA and an 11.03...

The Milwaukee Brewers continued to shake up their bullpen Monday by acquiring relief pitcher Matt Bush from the Texas Rangers, per Rangers beat writer Evan Grant. The Rangers' return was not reported. The veteran will bolster the Brewers' bullpen, as he has logged a 2.95 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and 29.8% strikeout rate in 36 2/3 inning pitched this season. Bush will not likely see save opportunities, making his fantasy value virtually non-existent.

The Texas Rangers have activated right-handed pitcher Matt Bush (forearm) from the 15-day injured list. Left-handed pitcher Kolby Allard was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move. Bush was on the injured list for a little over two weeks with right forearm soreness. The 36-year-old has primarily been used as a setup man this year, but he's also made three starts as an opener. Over 30 total appearances, he's pitched to a 4.05 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP while compiling a 2-1 record, ...

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Matt Bush closed out the team's 2-0 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Saturday to earn his first save of the year. He retired each of the three batters he faced in the ninth inning while recording one strikeout. This was the Rangers' first converted save of the season. The team has had something of a cryptic bullpen through the early going, somewhat owed to the fact that the team had only won four games prior to Saturday's contest. Bush received a save ...

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Matt Bush (elbow) is scheduled to begin throwing again soon. The veteran reliever has been sidelined since early April due to a flexor strain in his pitching arm. Bush has only thrown three innings for the Rangers this season and he struggled during those outings. Let's face facts, the Rangers aren't playing for anything and have no need to rush a veteran arm like Bush back on the mound. It seems unlikely he'll take the mound again in 2021.

Texas Rangers pitcher Matt Bush (elbow) was placed on the injured list on Friday with elbow inflammation. The club activated pitcher Brett Martin from the injured list to take Bush's place on the 26-man roster. Bush, who did not pitch last season or in 2019, had a solid spring to earn a roster spot as a non-roster invitee. The 35-year-old has had a rough time during the regular season, though, and has allowed a solo home run in each of his three appearances in 2021. No timeframe has been ...

Texas Rangers pitchers Matt Bush and Ian Kennedy have been informed that they've made the opening day roster "provided no unforeseen circumstance" occurs. Texas has been inundated with injuries to the bullpen and has lost a long list of relievers including Jose Leclerc, Jonathan Hernandez, Brett Martin, and Joely Rodriguez. Bush, who hasn't pitched in the majors since 2018, could end up in high-leverage situations. This spring, he has a 5.79 ERA with seven strikeouts and four walks in 4.2 ...
