Bouncing back from shoulder surgery
PTexas Rangers
Shoulder
June 9, 2025
Sborz (shoulder) resumed throwing breaking balls in a May 30 bullpen session, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
On the mend from mid-November surgery on his right shoulder, Sborz has been throwing off a mound for nearly a month now and appears to be close to facing hitters in live batting practice. He'll likely throw live BP on at least a couple occasions before the Rangers send him out on a what will likely be an extended minor-league rehab assignment. Sborz appears unlikely to return from the 60-day injured list until early July at the soonest.

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.
