The Rangers non-tendered Sborz on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz started the 2025 season on the 60-day injured list after undergoing surgery on his right shoulder in November of 2024. He was able to begin a rehab stint in July but was unable to progress enough in his recovery to see major-league action. Sborz will now enter free agency and will look to sign with a team in need of right-handed depth out of the bullpen.

The Rangers have shut Sborz (shoulder) down for the remainder of the season, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll go the entire 2025 season without pitching in an MLB game, and manager Bruce Bochy noted Sborz wasn't able to consistently reach his expected velocity while recovering from Nov. 2024 shoulder surgery. The right-hander went through a pair of minor-league rehab assignments this summer but never got to a point where he could be reinstated from the 60-day injured list. With a full offseason to rest and ramp up, Sborz should be a full-go for spring training

Sborz (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Monday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz, currently on the 60-day injured list, made a string of appearances on a rehab assignment before a brief "deloading" program, which is a planned period of reduced training. The right-hander continues to try to ramp up to game velocity.

Sborz (shoulder) had his minor-league rehab stint transferred from Double-A Frisco to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz is three games into his rehab stint, which began with a one-game cameo with Round Rock before he moved to Frisco for two contests. Altogether, he's tossed 3.1 innings, allowing one run on three hits and compiling a 4:3 K:BB. Sborz underwent right shoulder surgery last November and could make his season debut with Texas before the end of July.

Sborz (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz will finally begin his minor-league rehab assignment after progressing to throwing live batting practice June 19. It'll be his first game action since undergoing shoulder surgery last November. He's on track to rejoin the Rangers in late July.

Sborz (shoulder) threw about 25 pitches in a live batting practice Wednesday at Globe Life Field, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz has thrown a few sessions of batting practice, and manager Bruce Bochy confirmed he'll throw one or two more before heading out on a rehab assignment. The right-handed reliever has been working his way back from shoulder surgery he underwent in November of 2024.

Sborz (shoulder) resumed throwing breaking balls in a May 30 bullpen session, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

On the mend from mid-November surgery on his right shoulder, Sborz has been throwing off a mound for nearly a month now and appears to be close to facing hitters in live batting practice. He'll likely throw live BP on at least a couple occasions before the Rangers send him out on a what will likely be an extended minor-league rehab assignment. Sborz appears unlikely to return from the 60-day injured list until early July at the soonest.

The Rangers placed Sborz (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Luke Jackson, whom the club signed to a one-year deal. Sborz underwent surgery on his right shoulder in mid-November and had already been expected to miss the first couple of months of the 2025 season, so his move to the 60-day IL won't alter his timeline for a return.

Sborz (shoulder) signed a one-year contract with the Rangers on Friday to avoid arbitration.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz appeared in just 17 major-league games in 2024, as he spent four separate stints on the Rangers' injured list due to a right shoulder injury. He managed to post a 3.86 ERA and 1.22 WHIP across 16.1 innings, and Sborz could be an effective option out of the Rangers' bullpen in 2025. However, he is set to miss the first few months of the campaign after undergoing shoulder surgery in mid-November,Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young said Monday that Sborz has been examined by multiple shoulder experts but has not yet made a decision on a course of action, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz dealt with a right shoulder problem off and on throughout the 2024 campaign and ended the season on the injured list with what the team simply referred to as shoulder fatigue. It would seem as though surgery could be one possibility Sborz is considering, although Young didn't divulge specifics in regards to what injury exactly the reliever is dealing with. With Kirby Yates, David Robertson and Jose Leclerc all becoming free agents, the health of Sborz is paramount.
