TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Rangers have decided to keep right-hander Matt Bush in the bullpen and not use him as a starter.
Instead, Bush will be used as a setup reliever who could pitch one-plus innings. Bush has been used strictly as a reliever in his first two seasons with the Rangers.
"We just feel that Matt is way too important to us in the bullpen," manager Jeff Banister said. "Just his set of pitches, how he pitches, so we feel like that's the best move for him as well as us as a team trying to structure the bullpen the best way we possibly can going forward.
