Rangers placed RHP Josh Sborz (shoulder) on the 60-day Injured List.
Sborz underwent shoulder surgery at the end of November and was already expected to be out for the first three months of the season. The Rangers needed a spot on the 40-man roster after signing Luke Jackson, so Sborz was moved to the IL to create that space.
Josh Sborz underwent right shoulder surgery last week and is expected to miss the first 2-3 months of next season.
With veteran closer Kirby Yates hitting free agency, Sborz would’ve been among the candidates vying for closing duties in Texas, but he’s going to wind up missing most of, if not all, of the first half of next season after undergoing a debridement procedure earlier this month to address a lingering right shoulder issue.
Rangers avoided arbitration with RHP Josh Sborz by agreeing to a one-year, $1.1 million contract.
Sborz missed significant time during the 2024 season due to shoulder issues but was one of the key cogs in the Rangers’ championship bullpen in 2023. It’s still unclear if he’ll be ready for the start of the 2025 season, but it’s nice to see the Rangers show continued faith in him. Sborz registered a 3.86 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and a 17/4 K/BB ratio over 16 1/3 innings during the 2024 campaign.
Josh Sborz, who ended the season on the IL with shoulder fatigue, has been talking to shoulder experts about courses of action.
It sounds like Sborz, who came up big for the Rangers in the 2023 postseason before missing much of 2024, might not be ready to contribute when 2025 starts. In a tough business, that could lead to him being non-tendered this month.
