Texas Rangers injury news: The pitching depth for the Rangers took another hit today as the club announced that both reliever Matt Bush and longman/spot starter Austin Bibens-Dirkx each underwent surgery recently.
The announcement revealed that Bush had a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow which required surgery that was performed on Wednesday and will cause him to miss the first half of the 2019 season.
The mending of Bush wasn’t classified as Tommy John Surgery since he didn’t need his ligament to be replaced but it’s still a significant setback for Bush as he will miss essentially an entire year of big league action.
