SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The Rangers' decision to move Matt Bush back to the bullpen does not change Mike Minor's situation. Manager Jeff Banister said Minor is still being considered as a candidate for the rotation, even though he was an effective reliever for the Royals last year and hasn't worked as a starter since 2014.
"We will continue to move forward with him in the rotation," Banister said. " ... In Bush's situation, we made the move based on how dynamic he is, weighing the options of starter versus how dynamic he can be in the bullpen.
