OAKLAND -- Right-hander Matt Bush will get first chance at closing now that Sam Dyson has gone on the disabled list with a contusion on his right hand.
The Rangers placed Dyson on the disabled list Monday and recalled pitcher Keone Kela from Triple-A Round Rock. Bush moves into the closer's role although Jeremy Jeffress, Tony Barnette and Kela could get the opportunity as well.
