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]
