He did not play a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season.[3]

Cushing opened the 2021 season with the Stockton Ports and was promoted to the Lansing Lugnuts and Double-A Midland RockHounds during the season.[4] Over 21 games (19 starts) between the three teams, Cushing went 7–7 with a 3.22 ERA and 111 strikeouts over 111+23 innings.[5] He began the 2022 season with Midland and was promoted to the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators in mid-June.[6] After struggling to a 14.14 ERA over 21 innings with the Aviators, he was demoted back to Midland in mid-July.[7] Over 19 starts with Midland, he went 11–3 with a 3.67 ERA and 95 strikeouts over 110+13 innings.[8] Cushing spent the majority of the 2023 season with Midland, but also appeared in three games for Las Vegas. Over 31 games (21 starts) between both affiliates, he went 8-6 with a 5.36 ERA and 130 strikeouts over 124+13 innings.[9]

Cushing split the 2024 campaign between Las Vegas and Midland, accumulating a 5-3 record and 3.77 ERA with 74 strikeouts and two saves across 37 appearances (five starts).[10] He returned to Las Vegas in 2025, compiling an 11-2 record and 6.67 ERA with 83 strikeouts across 38 appearances (six starts). Cushing elected free agency following the season on November 6, 2025.[11]
