Player Outlook
Ky 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.

  • White Sox's Ky Bush: Goes on 60-day injured list

    Rotowire
    The White Sox placed Bush (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Monday. The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Owen White, who has been claimed off waivers. Bush underwent Tommy John surgery last week and will miss the entire 2025 season.

  • White Sox's Ky Bush: Set for Tommy John surgery

    Rotowire
    Bush will undergo Tommy John surgery on his left elbow Wednesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. Bush ended last season on the injured list with what was referred to at the time as a left triceps strain. It's not clear whether this injury is related to that or a new issue, but either way, the southpaw will now miss the entire 2025 season and could potentially get a late start to 2026, as well. Bush, 25, held a 5.60 ERA and 11:16 K:BB over 17.2 innings with the White Sox during the 2024 regular season.

  • White Sox's Ky Bush: Recalled, shelved with tricep injury

    Rotowire
    The White Sox recalled Bush from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday and placed him on the 15-day injured list with a left tricep strain, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. Chicago optioned Bush to Triple-A on Aug. 26, and despite making a one-inning start for Charlotte on Sept. 7, he'll revert to the big club's 15-day IL after suffering the injury in that outing. Given the timing of the injury, Bush is unlikely to be activated before the season ends Sept. 29. Bush made four starts for the White Sox prior to his demotion in late August, logging a 5.60 ERA and 2.04 WHIP while walking more batters (16) than he struck out (11) over 17.2 innings.

  • White Sox's Ky Bush: Moved back to minors

    Rotowire
    The White Sox optioned Bush to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday. Bush managed one nice start against the Astros, but his other three outings during his first stint in the big leagues were woeful, as the lefty ultimately collected a 5.60 ERA and 11:16 K:BB over 17.2 frames across the four starts. The left-hander will work on ironing out his issues at Charlotte and the White Sox will now need a starter for three week's series against the Rangers to take Bush's spot.

  • White Sox's Ky Bush: Tagged with third loss

    Rotowire
    Bush (0-3) picked up the loss in Saturday's 14-3 loss against the Tigers. He pitched three inning and allowed five runs on eight hits with a walk and a strikeout. Bush was roughed up in his fourth career start, setting new highs in hits and runs allowed. He was coming off a quality start last Sunday against the Astros and had allowed a combined six runs in his first three starts before running into trouble against the Tigers. Bush has a 5.60 ERA in his four starts with 16 walks over 17.2 innings, which makes him untrustworthy for fantasy purposes.

  • White Sox's Ky Bush: Takes loss in big-league debut

    Rotowire
    Bush (0-1) took the loss against Oakland on Monday, allowing three runs on two hits and five walks while striking out three batters over four innings. Bush was called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday for his first major-league appearance and was handed the task of trying to end Chicago's 20-game losing streak. The southpaw couldn't get the job done, mostly due to his control -- he gave up just two hits but walked five batters and threw only 45 of 85 pitches for strikes. Bush struggled with walks in the minors too, issuing 42 free passes over 99.2 frames between Double-A and Triple-A. Despite Monday's rough start, he could get at least another turn in the rotation with Drew Thorpe (forearm) landing on the injured list Friday.

  • White Sox's Ky Bush: Officially called up for MLB debut

    Rotowire
    The White Sox selected Bush's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday. Bush will fill the opening in the White Sox rotation to start Monday's game against the Athletics in his MLB debut. The 24-year-old has logged a 6.16 ERA across 19 innings for Charlotte following his promotion from Double-A Birmingham in early July, making him a risky streaming option, despite pitching in a hitter-friendly park in Oakland against a strikeout-prone Athletics lineup.

  • White Sox's Ky Bush: Set for major-league debut Monday

    Rotowire
    Bush is expected to be called up from Triple-A Charlotte to start Monday's game against the Athletics in Oakland, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Acquired from the Angels last summer, Bush had opened his first full season in the White Sox organization at Double-A Birmingham before earning a promotion to Charlotte shortly before the All-Star break. The 24-year-old has made four appearances (two starts) with Charlotte, compiling a 6.16 ERA and 1.71 WHIP with 16 strikeouts over 19 innings. With the White Sox in the midst of a 20-game losing streak, they appear willing to take a look at young players like Bush who could help them down the line.

  • White Sox's Ky Bush: Headed to Triple-A

    Rotowire
    Bush was promoted to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Bush will move up a level in the White Sox minor-league system after he produced a 2.12 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 78 strikeouts over 80.2 innings in 14 starts with Double-A Birmingham this season. With Chicago completely out of the postseason picture and expected to be sellers at the trade deadline, it's possible that Bush could find his way to the major-league roster down the road if he impresses at the Triple-A level.

  • Angels' Ky Bush: Starts up rehab stint

    Rotowire
    Bush (oblique) made a rehab appearance Thursday for the Angels' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate, recording just one out while allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits and one walk. Bush's 2023 debut was an inauspicious one, as he retired just one of the eight batters he faced. The Angels will hope that Bush's rough showing was a byproduct of rust rather than any lingering discomfort from the left oblique injury that has kept him on the shelf all season. Once he ramps up over the course of multiple rehab outings in the lower minors, Bush is expected to settle into the rotation at Double-A Rocket City.

  • Angels' Ky Bush: Opens season on IL

    Rotowire
    Double-A Rocket City placed Bush (oblique) on its 7-day injured list April 6. Bush is still working his way back from a left oblique injury that limited him for much of spring training. Once healthy, Bush should settle back into a spot in the Rocket City rotation after logging a 3.67 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 103 innings at the Double-A level in 2022.

  • Angels' Ky Bush: Minor oblique injury

    Rotowire
    Bush is currently dealing with an oblique injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Fletcher reports that the injury is "minor," but the Angels decided not to have the left-hander appear in MLB spring training as he recovers. Bush is one of the top pitching prospects in the Angels' system, and the 23-year-old finished 2022 with a 3.67 ERA and 101:29 K:BB in his 103 innings over 21 starts. He has a good chance to make starts for the Halos before the end of 2023.

  • Angels' Ky Bush: Showing well in Double-A

    Rotowire
    Bush has a 3.20 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 77:24 K:BB in 76 innings across 16 starts for Double-A Rocket City this season. The 2021 second-rounder had a tremendous first half, but his workload has been dialed back significantly over the last month-plus -- he's made just four total appearances (pitching just 14.1 innings) in July and August, not counting a scoreless inning in the Futures Game. A big lefty at 6-foot-6, 240 pounds, Bush has shown better command than expected and done a good job keeping the ball in the park. There's relief risk here, but Bush is an intriguing prospect.
