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.

The Rangers reinstated Sborz (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday. Sborz initially landed on the injured list in mid-August due to shoulder fatigue, but after a month of rehab, he's been given the green light to return to Texas' bullpen. The 30-year-old righty allowed five earned runs over just 3.1 innings during his minor-league assignment, but he won't have to worry about pitching under pressure during the final week of the regular season with the Rangers out of the playoff picture. Walter Pennington was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

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.
