Sborz was placed on the paternity list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Players typically miss three days while on paternity leave. If that's the case with Sborz, he'll be back for Friday's game against Seattle. Jason Martin was recalled in a corresponding move.

Sborz (3-3) allowed three runs (two earned) on a hit and three walks while striking out two in two-thirds of an inning. He took the extra-inning loss versus Minnesota on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz allowed the initial runner to score on a Luis Arraez triple, then loaded the bases and walked in a run. Demarcus Evans also allowed an inherited runner to score before escaping the jam. Sborz has allowed nine runs (eight earned) in 7.1 innings across his last nine outings. He has a 4.94 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 38:12 K:BB across 27.1 innings overall with a save, two holds and three blown saves.

Sborz allowed one run on one hit and struck out two over one inning in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

With closer Ian Kennedy (hamstring) on the shelf, manager Chris Woodward turned to Sborz for the save. After dispatching Yordan Alvarez (strikeout) and Yuli Gurriel (pop up), Sborz caught too much of the zone with a slider that Carlos Correa made him pay for with a game-tying home run that sent the game into extras. An inning later, Demarcus Evans served up a grand slam to Jose Altuve. Sborz and Evans are expected to share the late-inning chores while Kennedy is on the injured list.

Sborz earned the save against the Twins on Thursday by tossing a perfect inning that included a pair of strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old entered the 10th inning with the Rangers leading by one and retired all three of his batters in just 11 pitches, including strikeouts of Willians Astudillo and Josh Donaldson. Sborz has only allowed one run over his last seven appearances and sports a 3.55 ERA and 0.87 WHIP across 12.1 innings this season.

Sborz (3-1) picked up the win Sunday against the Red Sox after tossing a scoreless inning with two strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz entered the game in the eighth inning with Texas down 3-2 on the score but delivered an impressive outing, tossing 11 of his 15 pitches for strikes while retiring J.D. Martinez, Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers in a row. The right-hander has not allowed runs in seven of his last nine appearances and owns an 11:4 K:BB through 11.2 innings this season.

The Rangers recalled Sborz from their taxi squad ahead of Sunday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

He'll join the bullpen as a replacement for Kyle Cody (shoulder), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Before being optioned off the 26-man active roster April 16, Sborz appeared in six games for Texas and gave up four earned runs over five innings.

Sborz was optioned to the Rangers' alternate training site Friday, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz led the Rangers with six relief appearances to begin the season but posted a 7.20 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in five innings. He'll attempt to work on things at the team's alternate training site after Joely Rodriguez (ankle) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Sborz (1-1) pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing a hit and a walk while striking out two to earn the win Thursday over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz allowed a couple batters to reach with two outs before striking out Manuel Margot. Sborz has been effective lately, firing 3.2 innings and allowing just one run. The 27-year-old's only bad outing came on April 3 when he surrendered three runs while failing to record an out.

Sborz retired the side in order in the seventh inning to record his first hold of the season in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz was elevated in the bullpen pecking order after Texas suffered several injuries to relievers during the spring. Whether he remains there when Brett Martin (back) and Joely Rodriguez (ankle) are ready to pitch remains to be seen. At least for now, Sborz appears to be part of the late-game crew. He pitched a perfect seventh followed by Matt Bush and Ian Kennedy to finish off a nice start by Kyle Gibson.

Sborz is in the mix to close games for the Rangers at the start of the season after Jose Leclerc was shut down with elbow soreness Monday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz certainly wouldn't be in the conversation for many teams, as he owns a career 6.08 ERA at the highest level in just 13.1 innings of work. The Rangers' bullpen has been hit with a number of injuries already, however, with Leclerc expected to join Jonathan Hernandez (elbow), Joely Rodriguez (ankle) and Brett Martin (back) on the injured list to start the year. Sborz did record a 31.4 percent strikeout rate and a 7.7 percent walk rate in his last two seasons in the minors, which could be enough to win the job when the top competitors are non-roster invitees like Ian Kennedy and Matt Bush.
