Sborz (elbow) has made two Cactus League appearances to date, striking out four over two scoreless innings while working around one hit and one walk.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz missed the final five weeks of the 2022 campaign with a right elbow sprain, finishing the campaign with a 6.45 ERA and 1.61 WHIP across 22.1 innings for Texas. The injury doesn't look to be anything that has limited him thus far in camp, so Sborz looks as though he'll have a chance to secure a middle-innings role out of the Rangers bullpen heading into Opening Day.

The Rangers transferred Sborz (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction clears room on the 40-man roster for right-hander Jesus Tinoco, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Round Rock ahead of Thursday's game in Boston. The move also ends Sborz's season, as he was first placed on the 10-day IL on Tuesday to the right elbow sprain. The 28-year-old reliever made 19 appearances for Texas, churning out a 6.45 ERA and 1.61 WHIP while striking out 32 over 22.1 innings.

The Rangers placed Sborz on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right elbow sprain.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz is eligible to return around the middle of September, but elbow sprains typically require more extended absences. A.J. Alexy was recalled to fill Sborz's spot in the Rangers' bullpen.

Sborz (arm) was credited with the win during his relief appearance in Sunday's 5-3 victory over the Mariners after he struck out five over two scoreless innings. He allowed zero hits and one walk during the 34-pitch outing.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz's stellar relief appearance came after he was struck in his pitching arm by a comebacker in his previous outing in the series opener Friday. The Rangers' willingness to use him for multiple innings two days later implies his health won't be a concern moving forward.

Sborz was hit by a comebacker on the right arm during Friday's loss to the Mariners, Arianna Vedia of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz, who was the game opener, got the first two batters before taking a line-drive single off the right arm. The right-hander stayed to finish the inning, but Texas manager Chris Woodward said the team is waiting to see how Sborz responds Saturday. Woodward referred to the pitcher as a "tough kid" but acknowledged the arm was sore Friday.

Sborz will start Friday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz will lead a bullpen game for the Rangers to open the series against the Mariners. He has thrown two innings in each of his last two appearances and could be in for a similar workload Friday. It's unclear who may follow Sborz into the game, though Taylor Hearn may be available to throw a few innings.

The Rangers recalled Sborz from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz replaces Matt Bush, who was traded to Milwaukee on Monday. Although he's pitched well with a 1.61 ERA at Triple-A this season, Sborz has a 7.94 mark in 11.1 big-league innings and doesn't figure to be entrusted with many important innings out of the Rangers' bullpen.

Sborz was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz was called up by the Rangers on Wednesday, and he allowed a hit and no walks while striking out one in a scoreless relief inning Thursday. However, he'll head back to the minors after Taylor Hearn was recalled from Round Rock on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

After a week-long stay in the minors, Sborz will make his way back to the big club after fellow reliever Joe Barlow (finger) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Sborz owns an 8.71 ERA and 1.94 WHIP over 10.1 innings with Texas this season and is likely to see most his work in the middle innings or non-competitive contests.
