2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bush opened the year with Double-A Birmingham, starting 14 games with a 2.21 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. He was promoted to Triple-A Charlotte, but struggled, posting a 6.16 ERA in 19 frames before getting the call to the bigs. Bush made four starts but walked 16 with only 11 punchouts in 17.2 stanzas. Bush was sent back to the farm where he made one start before suffering a triceps injury. Control has always been an issue for the 6-feet-6 southpaw and his stuff lacks the dominance to compensate. He'll likely get a chance to compete for a back-end rotation spot, but unless Bush exhibits significantly better control, he's destined to return to the minors. Read Past Outlooks

Heading to Chicago
PChicago White Sox
July 28, 2023
Bush was dealt to the White Sox as part of the package for Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez.
ANALYSIS
Bush, a 6-foot-6 lefty pitcher, and Edgar Quero represent the full trade return, and both profiled as top prospects in a fairly thin Angels system. Quero landed in the top-100 preseason prospects for Keith Law of The Athletic, while Bush was a second-round pick in 2021. The 23-year-old has struggled at Double-A since returning from groin and oblique injuries, logging a 5.88 ERA across six starts, but he posted better results at the level in 2022 and could earn a promotion to Triple-A before the season is out if he gets back into form.
