Bush active, Burns to Nashville

The Brewers optioned right-hander Mike Burns to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday morning to make room for right-hander Dave Bush, who returns from the disabled list to start against the Reds.

The Brewers must win to avoid a Cincinnati sweep, and Felipe Lopez is back in the lineup after missing a start Wednesday with a right foot injury. Jody Gerut is also back for a second straight start after hitting a home run from the leadoff hole last night.
