Ky Bush is one of several candidates competing for a starting role in the White Sox's rotation, which remains uncertain following the trade of Garrett Crochet. His performance will be pivotal as the team looks to rebuild after consecutive losing seasons.

Ky Bush was optioned to Charlotte after struggling with a 5.60 ERA in four starts. Acquired from the Angels last season, he has not shown the effectiveness expected, issuing 16 walks and striking out 11 in 17 1/3 innings, resulting in an 0-3 record. His spot on the roster will be filled by lefty reliever Sammy Peralta, with a call-up likely to fill Bush's rotation spot on Thursday.

Ky Bush started four games for the White Sox this season, posting a 5.60 ERA and a 2.038 WHIP before being optioned to Triple-A Charlotte.

Ky Bush, 24, was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte after struggling in his recent stint with the White Sox, going 0-3 with a 5.60 ERA in four starts since his contract was selected on August 5.

Ky Bush struggled in his fourth career start, lasting only three innings and allowing five runs on eight hits against the Tigers. Despite this setback, he showed improved control, walking only four batters over his past two starts compared to 12 in his first two. Interim manager Grady Sizemore suggested that Bush's comfort level in his surroundings may be contributing to his progress, as he adjusts to pitching at the major league level.
