The White Sox recalled Bush from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday and placed him on the 15-day injured list with a left tricep strain, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. Chicago optioned Bush to Triple-A on Aug. 26, and despite making a one-inning start for Charlotte on Sept. 7, he'll revert to the big club's 15-day IL after suffering the injury in that outing. Given the timing of the injury, Bush is unlikely to be activated before the season ends Sept. 29. Bush made four starts for the White Sox prior to his demotion in late August, logging a 5.60 ERA and 2.04 WHIP while walking more batters (16) than he struck out (11) over 17.2 innings.

The White Sox optioned Bush to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday. Bush managed one nice start against the Astros, but his other three outings during his first stint in the big leagues were woeful, as the lefty ultimately collected a 5.60 ERA and 11:16 K:BB over 17.2 frames across the four starts. The left-hander will work on ironing out his issues at Charlotte and the White Sox will now need a starter for three week's series against the Rangers to take Bush's spot.

Bush (0-3) picked up the loss in Saturday's 14-3 loss against the Tigers. He pitched three inning and allowed five runs on eight hits with a walk and a strikeout. Bush was roughed up in his fourth career start, setting new highs in hits and runs allowed. He was coming off a quality start last Sunday against the Astros and had allowed a combined six runs in his first three starts before running into trouble against the Tigers. Bush has a 5.60 ERA in his four starts with 16 walks over 17.2 innings, which makes him untrustworthy for fantasy purposes.

Bush (0-1) took the loss against Oakland on Monday, allowing three runs on two hits and five walks while striking out three batters over four innings. Bush was called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday for his first major-league appearance and was handed the task of trying to end Chicago's 20-game losing streak. The southpaw couldn't get the job done, mostly due to his control -- he gave up just two hits but walked five batters and threw only 45 of 85 pitches for strikes. Bush struggled with walks in the minors too, issuing 42 free passes over 99.2 frames between Double-A and Triple-A. Despite Monday's rough start, he could get at least another turn in the rotation with Drew Thorpe (forearm) landing on the injured list Friday.

The White Sox selected Bush's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday. Bush will fill the opening in the White Sox rotation to start Monday's game against the Athletics in his MLB debut. The 24-year-old has logged a 6.16 ERA across 19 innings for Charlotte following his promotion from Double-A Birmingham in early July, making him a risky streaming option, despite pitching in a hitter-friendly park in Oakland against a strikeout-prone Athletics lineup.
