The Rangers re-signed Sborz (shoulder) to a minor-league contract Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training.
Analysis
After being non-tendered by the Rangers in November, Sborz is now back in the fold on a minor-league deal. The 32-year-old missed much of the 2025 season while recuperating from shoulder surgery and was eventually shut down in September due to poor velocity and results during his rehab assignment. It's unclear whether Sborz will have any restrictions at the beginning of spring training.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2022
Sborz opened the 2023 campaign on the IL with an ankle injury that he suffered late in spring training. He was activated in mid-April and filled a multi-inning relief role for the Rangers, but eventually ascended into a setup role. The 30-year-old racked up six wins and 14 holds for the World Series champions, but spent more time on the injured list later in the season with various ailments. Sborz's 36.9 whiff percentage was a 98th percentile metric and he finished with a 30-plus percent strikeout rate for the second straight season. His ERA was inflated at 5.50, but his xERA was 3.35 and his 1.15 WHIP was a top-50 mark among qualified relievers. There's definitely some upside in his profile, but Sborz has been injured on five separate occasions over the past two seasons, making it hard to justify the fantasy investment even in the deepest of leagues.
Sborz was a largely dependable (read: healthy) arm for the Rangers' bullpen in 2021, although the the 28-year-old righty was susceptible to hard contact and near the bottom of the league in exit velocity (91.1 mph). Despite the contact, he managed to keep the ball in the park. Home runs were never an issue in the minors, and he managed to not to get burned often in 59 MLB innings. Along with the hard contact, Sborz had an issue with walks. He had a 12.5 percent walk rate and issued nearly five free passes per nine innings. He's expected to pitch in a variety situations as a middle reliever.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Rangers want to re-sign
PFree Agent  NRI
December 4, 2025
Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young said Thursday that the team is being aggressive in trying to re-sign Sborz, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Analysis
The Rangers non-tendered Sborz last month, but they'd like to retain the reliever's services, likely on a minor-league contract. Sborz didn't pitch for the Rangers in 2025 following November 2024 right shoulder surgery, and he was shut down from his rehab work in September after being unable to consistently reach his expected velocity. Slated to turn 32 later this month, Sborz holds a career 4.96 ERA and 27.7 percent strikeout rate over parts of six major-league seasons.
