Availability
Rangers reliever Josh Sborz (shoulder) is feeling better after shoulder issues cost him the 2025 season.
Fantasy Impact
Sborz underwent shoulder surgery in November of 2024 and missed the entire 2025 season as a result. After working with physiotherapists this winter, the reliever is aiming for "slow gains" this spring. The 32-year-old right-hander owns a 4.96 ERA across 154 career MLB appearances.
Josh Sborz has re-signed with the Texas Rangers on a minor league deal. The contract includes an invitation to Spring Training.
Fantasy Impact
A Rangers' World Series hero from 2023, Sborz has dealt with injuries over the last two seasons and, in fact, missed all of 2025 due to shoulder surgery. He has been limited to just 16.1 innings over the last two seasons after helping Texas to its first World Series title. Sborz pitched 10 games in the 2023 postseason and had a 0.75 ERA with one save in 12 innings. The righthander has pitched to a 4.96 ERA in parts of six seasons with the Dodgers and Rangers. He'll have every opportunity to crack the Rangers' opening day roster during the spring.
The Rangers have non-tendered RHP Josh Sborz.
Fantasy Impact
Sborz did not pitch for the Rangers in the 2025 season after spending the season rehabbing from right shoulder surgery. He will likely have to settle for a short-term deal from a team in need of bullpen depth.
Josh Sborz has been shut down for the remainder of the season.
Fantasy Impact
Sborz had made 12 appearances between Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock. He'll hope to be fully healthy by spring training.
Josh Sborz is scheduled to pitch on Thursday and Saturday in his rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock.
Fantasy Impact
Sborz has made six appearances during his rehab assignment, posting a 4.26 ERA and 2.05 WHIP. He's scheduled for two more outings with Triple-A Round Rock. The team will likely evaluate his performance and how he feels before determining his next steps. Sborz underwent right shoulder surgery last November and is expected to make his season debut in August.
