Milwaukee Brewers Designate Reliever Matt Bush for Assignment

Matt Bush, the No. 1 pick in the 2004 Major League Baseball draft, was designated for assignment by the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday.

Bush has struggled mightily for the Brewers since being acquired last August from the Texas Rangers in exchange for Antoine Kelly and Mark Mathias. The hard throwing right-hander, who has battled arm issues this season, owns a dismal 0-2 record with a 9.58 ERA and 1.65 WHIP over 10 1/3 innings.

In Friday’s 8-7 loss to the Pirates, Bush suffered his third blown save of the season after surrendering three earned runs in the the ninth inning.
