Matt Bush is out of Major League Baseball at this moment and his attorney says he's in rehab. His once-bright future now rests with the San Diego County court system.
The former local high school star and No. 1 draft pick of the San Diego Padres did not appear in court in El Cajon on Wednesday as the DUI charge against him is a misdemeanor.
But his attorney, Gregory Daniels, entered a not guilty plea on Bush's behalf at the county courthouse in El Cajon to the DUI and other charges.
Daniels told the judge in the case his client had enrolled in a residential rehabilitation program as ordered.
Bush remains free on $50,600 bail after pleading not guilty to driving under the influence, resisting arrest and two counts of vandalism. The charges stem from a June 28 incident involving a parked car in Mission Valley.
At the time, Bush was free on bail after facing misdemeanor battery charges in connection with an alleged assault in Febuary. It was after that case that the Padres designated him for assignment, removing him from the club's 40-man roster.
He was traded to Toronto, where shortly afterward, Bush was accused of an altercation with a woman in Florida and he was released by the Blue Jays.
