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.

Sborz was shipped from the Dodgers to the Rangers in exchange for Jhan Zambrano on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Previous reports indicated Sborz had passed through waivers and would remain with the Dodgers, but that's evidently not the case. He finds himself in a landing spot where it should be much easier to earn a big-league job, but his track record (a 6.08 ERA in just 13.1 career MLB innings) remains unimpressive even for a Rangers reliever.

Sborz cleared waivers Tuesday and will remain part of the Dodgers' organization, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

As a 27-year-old with a 6.08 career ERA in just 13.1 total innings at the highest level, it's perhaps no surprise Sborz didn't generate any interest on the waiver wire. He'll serve as organizational depth this season and is unlikely to fill more than a low-leverage relief role.

Sborz was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Thursday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz was sent down by the Dodgers in September, and he'll now be removed from the 40-man roster to make room for right-hander Trevor Bauer. Sborz has made 11 relief appearances for the Dodgers over the past two seasons, posting a 6.08 ERA and 1.28 WHIP over 13.1 innings.

Sborz was optioned by the Dodgers on Friday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz finds himself sent down for the second time in four days, as he was optioned Tuesday before being recalled Wednesday. Mitch White was recalled in a corresponding move this time around.

Sborz was recalled by the Dodgers on Wednesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sborz returns just one day after being optioned, with Caleb Ferguson (elbow) heading to the injured list in a corresponding move. Sborz has made three relief appearances so far this season, giving up one run on two hits over three innings.

Sborz was optioned to the Dodgers' alternate training site Tuesday, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move clears a spot for Justin Turner (hamstring) to return from the injured list. Sborz spent a week on the big-league roster in his latest stint with the team, allowing one run in two innings of relief work.
