AL East Notes: Bush, Blue Jays, Davis, Orioles

Here's a look at the AL East as the Yankees get set to take on Cleveland tonight..

• Blue Jays pitcher Dave Bush has cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A, according to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet (on Twitter).  Bush was designated for assignment yesterday to make room for Mauro Gomez on the roster.
• The Rangers didn't want to give up Chris Davis to land Koji Uehara from the Orioles in 2011, former O's president Andy MacPhail told Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.  Initially, Texas was only willing to part with right-hander Tommy Hunter to get a deal done, but Baltimore wanted Davis too.  Last year with the Orioles, Davis hit .270/.326/.501 with 33 homers.
• The Rays' trade of Robinson Chirinos to the Rangers on Monday has left them thin at catcher in the upper levels of their minor league system, writes Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune.
