Non-tendered by Texas
The Rangers non-tendered Sborz on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Sborz started the 2025 season on the 60-day injured list after undergoing surgery on his right shoulder in November of 2024. He was able to begin a rehab stint in July but was unable to progress enough in his recovery to see major-league action. Sborz will now enter free agency and will look to sign with a team in need of right-handed depth out of the bullpen.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Rangers want to re-sign
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.
