Bush gave up a hit while recording the final two outs of Friday's 5-2 win over the Nationals to notch his seventh save of the season.

EDGE Analysis

He did allow an inherited runner to score, but Bush still had little trouble converting the save. The 31-year-old has struggled recently, managing a 4.15 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 6:4 K:BB in 8.2 innings over his last 10 appearances, but there's been no indication from the Rangers that his hold on the closer role is slipping.

Bush (2-1) gave up an unearned run on a hit and two walks in the ninth inning against the Mets on Wednesday, leaving him with the loss. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

That makes three straight outings in which Bush has let the opposition score, and the last two -- this one included -- have been very concerning. Yes, the run was unearned thanks to Rougned Odor's error, but Bush needed 30 pitches to slog through this inning. If there's a silver lining, it's that neither of these last two appearances have been save situations, so Bush probably still isn't in too much danger of losing his closing job. It'll be a big help if he can right the ship the next time an opportunity presents itself.

Bush gave up four hits -- including a pair of homers -- and three runs in a non-save situation against the Mets on Tuesday. He struck out one and walked one.

EDGE Analysis

Bush just blew a save in his last appearance, then got five days off, only to return with his worst outing of the season. Still, considering that the guy put up a 0.96 ERA and twin WHIP in his first 19 appearances, his fantasy owners will have to cut him some slack. As long as there's no hidden injury in play, there's no reason to worry about Bush.

Bush gave up a solo homer to Tampa's Kevin Kiermaier in the ninth inning Wednesday, resulting in a blown save. He finished out the inning without any other blemishes.

EDGE Analysis

Bush had gone 6-for-6 in save chances since taking over the closer's role, so it's easy to give him a mulligan on this one. After all, we're talking about a guy who's posted a 1.37 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB through 19.2 innings. The hard-throwing Bush has the upside to strike out more batters still, but even if he simply maintains his current rate, he'll rank among the league's better closers.

Bush allowed two hits during a scoreless ninth inning to collect his sixth save of the season during Sunday's win over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Bush has now gone 15 appearances and 14 innings without allowing an earned run, and he's also fanned 16 batters during that stretch. He's solidified himself as the Texas closer, and his current run continues to extend his ninth-inning leash.

Bush allowed no runs on two hits and one walk while striking out two in one inning of work to notch his fifth save Friday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Bush was protecting a three-run lead, but allowed three baserunners and threw 33 pitches on his way to preserving a road victory. He's now 5-for-5 in converting save opportunities since taking over the closer role, and he should be considered both a strong and safe fantasy option.

Bush pitched a scoreless ninth inning to collect his fourth save of the season in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Bush failed to record a strikeout for just the third time in 13 appearances on the season, but he was able to dispatch the Athletics in easy fashion. After Rajai Davis lined out to open the inning, Bush gave up a base hit to Matt Joyce and then induced a grounder from Jed Lowrie for a game-ending double play. Bush is now a perfect 4-for-4 in save chances since replacing Sam Dyson as closer and seems to have quickly built up ample job security.

Bush tossed a perfect ninth inning and struck out two batters to claim his third save of the season in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Bush retired the side with relative ease, pumping in 10 his 13 pitches for strikes. With three saves in three attempts and a 18:4 K:BB ratio over 12.2 innings, Bush isn't expected to relinquish closing duties barring a string of several blowups.

Bush gave up a hit and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning to pick up his second save of the season in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Save opportunities have been tough to come by for Bush with the Rangers struggling, but he's now fired eight consecutive scoreless appearances with a 1.00 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB over that stretch. The 31-year-old has a firm hold on the closer role in Texas.

Bush struck out one batter while working around a base hit and a walk in a scoreless inning of relief Friday to pick up the win in the Rangers' 3-1 victory over the Mariners in 13 innings.

EDGE Analysis

With the game tied at 1-1 entering the top of the 12th, manager Jeff Banister elected to turn to his closer to hold serve, and while Bush's frame wasn't completely drama free, he was able to strand runners on first and second base after inducing an inning-ending flyout from Nelson Cruz. After former ninth-inning man Sam Dyson was activated from the 10-day disabled list a week ago, Banister said that Bush would continue to serve as the team's closer, but much to the chagrin of fantasy owners, the 31-year-old hasn't been able to see many save chances. Bush did convert his sole save opportunity this season without much stress and owns a 1.69 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB ratio over 10.2 innings, so he still profiles as a reliable end gamer.
