Caleb Boushley (born October 1, 1993) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Minnesota Twins of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Career

Amateur career

Boushley attended Hortonville High School in Hortonville, Wisconsin.[1] He enrolled at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse in La Crosse, Wisconsin, where he played college baseball for the Wisconsin–La Crosse Eagles.[2]

San Diego Padres

The San Diego Padres selected Boushley in the 33rd round, with the 978th overall selection, of the 2017 Major League Baseball draft.[3] He began his professional baseball career in 2017 playing for the rookie-level Arizona League Padres and High–A Lake Elsinore Storm.[3] He spent some time at Lake Elsinore in 2018 but played the majority of the season with the Single–A Fort Wayne TinCaps.[3] He also made one relief appearance for the Triple-A El Paso Chihuahuas. Boushley spent the entire 2019 season with Lake Elsinore,[3] and he was selected to play in the 2019 California League All-Star Game.[4]

Boushley did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] In 2021, he began the season with the Double-A San Antonio Missions but was promoted to Triple-A El Paso in late June.[4]

Milwaukee Brewers

On December 8, 2021, Boushley was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft.[4] He spent the 2022 season with the Triple–A Nashville Sounds, starting 25 games and posting a 12–2 record and 3.25 ERA with 91 strikeouts across 127+1⁄3 innings pitched.[6] He returned to Nashville in 2023, making 29 appearances (26 starts) and logging a 9–8 record and 5.11 ERA with a career–high 110 strikeouts across 135+2⁄3 innings of work.[3]

The Brewers selected Boushley's contract from Nashville on September 29, 2023, and he made his major league debut that night.[7] Starting against the Chicago Cubs, he struck out five batters while allowing one hit and one earned run in 2+1⁄3 innings pitched to earn the win.[7] Following the season on October 31, Boushley was removed from the 40–man roster and sent outright to Triple–A Nashville.[8] He elected free agency on November 6.[9]

Minnesota Twins

On January 26, 2024, Boushley signed a minor league contract with the Minnesota Twins.[10] On May 1, after 5 starts for the Triple–A St. Paul Saints, Boushley was added to Minnesota's major league roster.[11]
