Josh Sborz Returns to Rangers on Minor League Deal After Shoulder Surgery

Josh Sborz has signed a minor league deal with the Texas Rangers, including an invitation to major league spring training. The 2023 playoff hero, who closed out Game 5 of the World Series, spent all of 2025 on the injured list after shoulder surgery. Sborz made 12 rehab appearances late last season but was shut down due to a lack of velocity, with the Rangers hoping for his healthy return and that his velocity will come back to boost their bullpen for 2026.
