ORLANDO, Fla. -- Matt Bush will be married this weekend.

When he returns from his honeymoon, the Rangers will give him another one of his heart's desires: The opportunity to prove he can be a starting pitcher.

General manager Jon Daniels said Tuesday that the club will meet with Bush, likely in early December, to map out an offseason plan for training to prepare as a starting pitcher. The club, however, will not make a determination on his ultimate path until closer to spring training. How Bush meets the team's criteria and how the roster is assembled is likely to have an impact.

"He's of a mindset that he wants to do it," Daniels said. "We will bring him with [pitching coach] Doug Brocail, [strength coach] Jose Vazquez and [assistant pitching coach] Dan Warthen and say, 'Here is what it has to look like.' We will check in at various points."

The Rangers currently only have two set-in-stone starters for their rotation: Cole Hamels and Martin Perez. Bush has been a major part of the bullpen the past two years thanks to a controllable and overpowering fastball. He struggled with a shoulder issue in 2017 that required a minor surgical cleanup after the season. But he has maintained that he wants to start. The Rangers discussed the possibility last offseason, but decided against it.
