  11/18/2023 • By RotoWire

  Bush was non-tendered by the Rangers on Friday, becoming a free agent. Bush inked a minor-league contract with Texas this past July, a week after being released by the Brewers, but he did not wind up making an appearance at the MLB level for the eventual World Series champions. The 37-year-old reliever may have to settle for another minor-league deal this winter if he wants to continue his playing career.

• Rangers' Matt Bush: Selected from Triple-A

  09/30/2023 • By RotoWire

  The Rangers selected Bush's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday. Bush last pitched in the majors for the Brewers on June 30, but he was DFA'd and later released after posting a 9.58 ERA and 1.65 WHIP over 10.1 innings. He signed a minor-league deal with Texas in July and has bounced back nicely by allowing just three runs in 12.2 innings in Triple-A. Bush will give the Rangers a fresh arm in their bullpen as they attempt to lock down a spot in the playoffs. Jake Latz was optioned to Round Rock and Alex Speas was designated for assignment in corresponding moves.

Bush passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment and has now been given his unconditional release.
