Brewers Bushed

The Brewers name Dave Bush their fifth starter for the rest of the season, demoting Seth McClung to the bullpen. This ends a home/road platoon between the two pitchers.
"I told them both I wanted to try this and if it wasn't good for either one of them that I would have to make a decision, so that's what we did," manager Ned Yost said. "It was kind of getting to both of them a little bit. I just think that it's better to do it this way."
Fantasy Impact: If you have space, keep McClung around, as Bush runs hot and cold. Bush's home ERA of 3.30 is 3.65 points better than his road mark. This move upgrades him from fringe starter to a number five or six in fantasy play.
