Rangers' Matt Bush: Selected from Triple-A
The Texas Rangers selected Matt 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.

Jake Latz was optioned to Round Rock and Alex Speas was designated for assignment in corresponding moves.

Matt Bush: Released by Brewers
Matt Bush was released Monday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.Bush passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment and has now been given his unconditional release. The 37-year-old holds a 9.58 ERA in 2023, but given his past success and fact that he can now be had at the prorated minimum, he shouldn't have trouble finding a new home shortly.

Brewers' Matt Bush: Designated for assignment
Matt Bush was designated for assignment by the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday.Bush was acquired from the Rangers at last year's trade deadline but stumbled to a 4.30 ERA down the stretch. His numbers fell off a cliff this season, with his ERA spiking to 9.58 as his strikeout rate plunged to 20.8 percent and his walk rate jumped to 12.5 percent. He allowed five home runs in 10.1 innings of work. His downturn in performance is paired with a big drop in velocity, with his fastball sitting at 94.8 mph after averaging 97.4 mph last season. That may make him an unappealing option on waivers despite his past success.

Matt Bush (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.Because Bush has been on the shelf since April 24 with right rotator cuff tendinitis, he'll likely need to build back up over the course of multiple rehab appearances in the minors before being deemed ready to rejoin the Milwaukee bullpen.

Brewers' Matt Bush: Lands on IL with shoulder injury
The Milwaukee Brewers placed Matt Bush on the 15-day injured list Monday with right rotator cuff tendinitis.Bush was roughed up for four runs and showed diminished velocity while recording just one out in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox, so it checks out that he might not have been 100 percent. The plan is for Bush to be shut down for 2-to-4 weeks before he's re-evaluated, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Brewers' Matt Bush: Picks up first save
Matt Bush earned a save against the Mariners on Wednesday, retiring both batters he faced in the ninth inning.Milwaukee entered the ninth with Peter Strzelecki on the mound and a three-run lead. However, Strzelecki was pulled after allowing a run to score, and Bush was summoned with the bases loaded and one out. The right-hander induced a foul out and a pop out to extinguish the threat and pick up his first save of the campaign. Devin Williams was unavailable after working two of the team's previous three games, so there's no reason to expect Bush to see regular save opportunities moving forward, though he would likely be a popular fantasy pick-up if Williams were to miss time.
