Unlikely to require IL stint Bush (groin) visited with team doctors Wednesday and isn't expected to require a trip to the injured list, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.
Impact Bush exited Tuesday's game against the Cardinals due to right groin discomfort, but the injury doesn't appear to be a significant concern. He won't be available out of the bullpen for Wednesday's series finale in St. Louis since he traveled to Milwaukee to visit with the team's medical staff, but he'll likely have a chance to return when the Brewers return home to face the Yankees for a three-game series that begins Friday.

Collects third save Bush allowed an unearned run on one hit and struck out two to earn the save in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Cardinals.
Impact Bush allowed initial runner Nolan Gorman to score on a sacrifice fly, but he was able to stave off the Cardinals after that. This was Bush's second straight save, which suggests he's firmly in the high-leverage mix for the Brewers. For the season, Bush has a 3.29 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 51:12 K:BB through 41 innings between Milwaukee and Texas, and he's added three saves and nine holds.

Earns second save Bush picked up the save, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning in a 5-3 win Tuesday over Tampa Bay.
Impact Bush faced the heart of Tampa Bay's lineup and retired them with ease, striking out Brandon Lowe and David Peralta in the process. It was his second save of the season and first since joining the Brewers. Bush joins Devin Williams as the two relievers that have received save chances since Milwaukee traded Josh Hader. Williams is likely to get the bulk of the save chances but Bush may be in the mix on occasion down the stretch.

After two intentional walks and a flyout to right field, Bush threw a wild, 0-2 curveball to Michael Chavis in the dirt, resulting in a walk-off win for the Pirates. In two appearances with Milwaukee, Bush has surrendered four hits, four runs (three earned) and two walks across 1.1 innings.

Serving as opener Saturday Bush will serve as the opener during Saturday's game against the Athletics.
Impact Bush hasn't lasted more than one inning in any of his first 36 appearances (four starts) this season and tossed a relief inning Thursday against Miami, so it seems safe to assume that his starting role Saturday will be as an opener. Over his last five outings, he's allowed a hit and a walk while striking out three in five innings. Taylor Hearn was originally listed as the starter for Saturday's matchup and will likely be available as a bulk reliever.

Opening Friday's game Bush will serve as the opener for Friday's game against the Mariners, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Bush has yet to complete more than one frame in an appearance this season, so he won't pitch deep into Friday's game. However, he's been effective out of the bullpen, maintaining a 40:9 K:BB, 3.64 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 29.2 innings. Taylor Hearn will follow Bush into the game and is expected to serve as the primary pitcher.

Yields unearned run in return Bush gave up an unearned run on a hit and a walk with one strikeout in one inning during Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Twins.
Impact Bush put two runners aboard and then committed a throwing error, leading to the Twins' sixth run. The right-hander had a 5.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in nine innings in June before going on the injured list with forearm soreness. He's expected to compete for save opportunities in what's likely to be a closer committee for the Rangers following the demotion of Joe Barlow from the role. Overall, Bush has a 3.90 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 37:8 K:BB with a save, eight holds and three blown saves in 27.2 innings this year.
