Matt Bush Stats

The Texas Rangers signed free-agent relief pitcher Matt Bush to a minor-league deal earlier this week. Bush spent the first four and a half years of his big-league career with the Rangers before being traded to the Milwaukee Brewers last summer. He was released by Milwaukee earlier this year after posting a terrible 9.58 ERA (9.38 FIP), 1.64 WHIP, six walks and 10 strikeouts in 10 1/3 relief innings over 12 appearances for the Brew Crew. The 37-year-old will join Double-A Frisco and will provide Texas with some relief depth, but it remains to be seen if he'll make his way back to the big leagues. In 211 career innings over 217 appearances (six starts), Bush has a 3.75 ERA (4.20 FIP), 1.20 WHIP, 15 saves and 227 strikeouts.

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 innings over nine relief appearances. However, he managed to toss five scoreless innings during his minor-league rehab assignment, so perhaps he'll fare better in the big leagues now that he's past his shoulder injury.

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.
