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

The Rangers placed Sborz on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to right shoulder fatigue. This marks the fourth time this season that Sborz has been placed on the IL due to a right shoulder injury. His prior stint started in mid-August, and he was able to return to the big club Tuesday, but his 2024 season will end with just 17 appearances out of the bullpen for the Rangers. Sborz ends the year with a 3.86 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 17:4 K:BB and eight holds over 16.1 innings of work.

Sborz (shoulder), who began a rehab assignment Aug. 24, restarted his assignment this week after taking an extended break, MLB.com reports. Sborz made two appearances in four days before shutting it down in August. This week, he threw a scoreless inning Tuesday, and then allowed two runs on a hit and two walks in two-thirds of an inning Friday. When healthy, Sborz has delivered a 3.38 ERA over 16 relief innings, but his current stint on the IL is his third due to shoulder-related issues.

Sborz (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Saturday. Sborz has been on the injured list since Aug. 11 due to right shoulder fatigue. It's unclear how many appearances the Rangers want the 30-year-old to make before they activate him off the IL, though a return before the end of the month hasn't yet been ruled out.
