The Rangers are bringing back a familiar face as they signed reliever Matt Bush to a minor league deal Wednesday.

Bush, 37, was released by the Milwaukee Brewers last week after he posted a 9.58 ERA in 10 1/3 innings of work out of their bullpen this season.

Bush was traded from the Rangers to the Brewers in 2022 for infielder Mark Mathias and left-handed pitcher Antoine Kelly. He posted a 4.30 ERA in 23 innings in 2022.

Prior to the trade, Bush spent his entire career with the Rangers, going 12-7 with a 3.34 ERA in 180 appearances for Texas from 2016-18 and 2021-22. He was originally signed by the Rangers as a minor league free agent in 2015.

Bush will report to Double-A Frisco.
