Sborz allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one over a scoreless ninth inning in Friday's 7-1 loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Sborz made his first appearance since coming off the injured list, mopping up a lopsided loss. The right-hander, who appeared in 63 games for the Rangers in 2021, projects to be a low-leverage arm out of the bullpen, but that could change.

The Rangers recalled Sborz from Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sborz will be back with the Rangers for the second stint in the majors in less than a week, as he was previously summoned from Triple-A to serve as Texas' 27th man in its doubleheader with the Yankees on Sunday. He'll now be part of the 26-man active roster, this time replacing Kolby Allard, who was optioned to Round Rock in a corresponding move. Expect Sborz's usage out of the bullpen to mostly come in lower-leverage scenarios.

The Rangers recalled Sborz from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
He's been designated as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader with the Yankees and will provide the Rangers with an extra arm out of the bullpen. The Rangers will likely option Sborz to Triple-A at the conclusion of the twin bill.

Sborz (elbow) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Sborz began a rehab assignment in Round Rock on Thursday and struck out one in a scoreless inning. The 28-year-old has now recovered from his right elbow soreness, but he'll remain with the minor-league club for now.

Sborz (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Sborz has been on the 10-day IL with right elbow soreness since April 16, but he'll now start the final portion of his rehab process. Since the right-hander pitches out of the bullpen, he's unlikely to require a lengthy stint in the minors prior to rejoining the Rangers.

Sborz was placed on the 10-day injured list with right elbow soreness Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Sborz allowed two runs on a hit and a walk while striking out one in one inning during Friday's loss to the Angels, and he's now dealing with an elbow issue that will force him to miss at least a week and a half. It's not yet clear when the 28-year-old will be able to return, but Matt Moore's contract was selected by the Rangers on Saturday.

Sborz allowed three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one over one inning in Friday's 10-8 loss to Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
John King and Sborz combined for 1.2 ineffective innings of relief, after Texas built a 7-3 lead entering the fifth inning. The Blue Jays kicked off their rally with a two-out walk issued by King and ended when Teoscar Hernandez stung Sborz with a three-run home run. The righty reliever remained in to start the sixth inning and was responsible for a runner that scored after reaching base on yet another two-out free pass. Sborz is projected for high-leverage relief work, but his first outing did not go as planned.

Sborz is one of several relievers that will pitch in high-leverage situations, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers are preparing for Opening Day in Toronto on Friday and are bringing 10 bullpen arms. That includes several long relievers, whose job it will be to bridge the game from starters who had a shorter-than-normal training camp to high-leverage relief crew. That should include Sborz, Joe Barlow, Matt Bush, Greg Holland and Brett Martin. Sborz logged 63 appearances in 2021, posting a 3.97 ERA and 1.42 WHIP one one save over 59 innings. Texas manager Chris Woodward has not named a closer, but Barlow, Bush and Holland are viewed as the frontrunners.

Sborz (4-3) allowed a run on two hits and a walk while striking out one in one inning, but he earned the win Friday versus Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander benefited from Texas' five-run ninth inning, which put him in line for his fourth win of the year. Sborz has been effective in the second half of the season, posting a 3.00 ERA across 27 innings since the start of July. He's notched a 3.95 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 67:31 K:BB across 57 innings overall while adding a save and nine holds as a high-leverage option for a Texas team that's struggled to win games.

Sborz was reinstated from the paternity list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Sborz had been away from the team since Tuesday. He'll return to a team that just traded closer Ian Kennedy to the Phillies, so he'll have the chance to compete for saves down the stretch, though his 4.46 ERA is hardly closer material.
