Josh Sborz RP | TEX
Rangers' Josh Sborz: Won't return in 2025
Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Sunday that Sborz (shoulder) has been shut down for the remainder of the season, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
He'll go the entire 2025 season without pitching in the majors, with Bochy noting that the decision not to activate Sborz from the 60-day injured list stems from the right-hander not being able to consistently reach his expected velocity coming off the shoulder surgery he underwent last November. With a full offseason to rest and ramp up, Sborz should be a full participant at the start of spring training.

Orioles' Colin Selby: Rehab assignment pending
Selby (hamstring) is expected to begin a rehab assignment this week, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reported Sunday.
Selby has been on the shelf with a strained left hamstring since July 29. It's unclear how many rehab outings the 27-year-old reliever will require before being reinstated from the IL, but it seems as though he'll be healthy before the end of the regular season. In nine appearances with the Orioles in 2025, Selby logged a 4.09 ERA with a 12:2 K:BB across 11 innings.
