The Rangers reinstated Bush (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Right elbow inflammation kept Bush on the IL since early April, at which point he had appeared in three games and allowed a solo home run in each of them. Thus, he takes a 9.00 ERA into the final game of the regular season.

Bush (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Bush has been on the injured list since early April due to right elbow inflammation, but he'll return to game action for the first time since April 7 during Monday's outing. The right-hander will likely require several rehab appearances given the length of his absence, so he might not have enough time to rejoin the Rangers prior to the end of the season.

Bush (elbow) has been pitching at the Rangers' spring training complex and could see minor-league game action by the end of September, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bush made just three appearances this season before being shut down with a strained flexor tendon. Reports from the time of the injury indicated he was expected to miss at least 12 weeks, but it looks as though he'll wind up missing the entire season. While he should have time to get into minor-league games before the season ends, he's unlikely to be ready to return to the majors before the season is over.

Bush (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

We already knew Bush was slated to miss at least 12 weeks after being diagnosed with a flexor tendon strain in his right arm. This clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Adolis Garcia.

Bush was diagnosed with a flexor tendon strain in his right arm Monday and will miss at least 12 weeks, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bush was seen as a potential candidate for saves in Texas this season as injuries struck several other pitchers in the Rangers' bullpen. The injury bug has now struck him as well, and he'll be out until early July at the earliest. He's expected to be re-examined in six weeks, at which point his timeline may become clearer. Ian Kennedy has recorded both of the Rangers' saves thus far this season.

Bush was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with right elbow inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

Bush was a dark horse candidate to get saves following some injuries ahead of him in the Rangers bullpen, but now that's out the window. He gave up a solo home run in all three of his appearances thus far this season and should be considered out indefinitely. Ian Kennedy seems to have a pretty clear grasp on the ninth-inning role in Texas.

Bush allowed a run on two hits with one strikeout over an inning of work to pick up a hold in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Bush entered the game in the eighth inning and came away with his second hold of the season despite giving up his third home run in as many outings. The pitching log for the game appears to be how manager Chris Woodward would like to deploy his bullpen. After six strong innings from starter Kyle Gibson, Josh Sborz, Bush and then Ian Kennedy cleaned up.

Bush was added to the Rangers' major-league roster Sunday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old and Ian Kennedy are expected to open the season as the top candidates for saves with Jose Leclerc and Jonathan Hernandez sidelined by elbow injuries, and the former two players have now been added to the big-league roster. Bush was on a minor-league deal and hasn't pitched in the majors since 2018 while battling his own elbow issues.

Bush allowed three runs on one hit and three walks in one-third of an inning in Thursday's spring game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Bush, who entered the game with a 0.00 ERA through four spring outings, came on to start the seventh inning and couldn't locate his pitches. He left with the bases loaded after retiring just one batter. Bush's Cactus League outings take on much more significance after he was named as a possible closer following the team's announcement that Jose Leclerc (elbow) will miss an extended period of time. In addition to Leclerc, the Rangers will be without top setup man Jonathan Hernandez (elbow) to start the season, leaving the closer job wide open. Bush and Ian Kennedy, who pitched a scoreless eighth inning Thursday, are seen as the leaders to close out games for Texas to start the regular season.

Bush moved closer to the Rangers' closer job Monday after Jose Leclerc was shut down for what's expected to be an extended period due to elbow soreness, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bush wouldn't be in the mix for many teams. He's a 35-year-old non-roster invitee who hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2018 due to a pair of elbow surgeries and who posted a 4.70 ERA in his most recent season. The Rangers' bullpen has already been decimated by injuries, however, so the fact that he has 11 career saves places him as one of the top contenders for the job. In addition to Leclerc, Jonathan Hernandez (elbow), Joely Rodriguez (ankle) and Brett Martin (back) will all be sidelined to start the season, leaving Bush as one of the top contenders alongside similarly uninspiring names such as Ian Kennedy and Josh Sborz.
