Both relievers who pitched in the Brewers’ walk-off loss against the Pirates on Friday night are no longer on the roster. Most notably, Matt Bush’s time in Milwaukee appears to be finished.
The club announced on Saturday that it had designated Bush and left-hander Thomas Pannone for assignment. It recalled right-hander J.B. Bukauskas and selected left-hander Clayton Andrews from Triple-A Nashville.
