The Texas Rangers have called up relief pitcher Matt Bush from Double-A Frisco.
Rangers appear on verge of calling up Matt Bush. Somewhat surprising. Thought he would have benefitted from more developmental time.

Bush, 30, who spent more than three years in prison for driving under the influence with serious bodily injury in Florida accident in 2012, signed a minor league deal with the Rangers in December after being released from the Hamilton Correctional Institute.
In 12 games with the RoughRiders, Bush has five saves, 18 strikeouts and four walks in 17 innings pitched.
