Sborz, who was placed on the 60-day IL for recovery from right shoulder surgery on July 12th, made one rehab appearance with Triple-A Round Rock on July 12th versus Albuquerque, retiring two of five batters in a 5-1 win.

The 31-year-old has made 143 career appearances over four seasons in the Rangers bullpen, going 13-12 with a 4.86 ERA across 150 innings.

Sborz helped the Rangers to a World Series title in 2023, ranking 11th among American League relief pitchers with 11.35 strikeouts per 9.0 innings (min. 50.0 IP in relief), the highest mark by a Rangers pitcher since 2019.

In game five of the 2023 World Series, Sborz recorded the final seven outs, allowing no runs on just one hit while recording four punchouts on the way to a title.

The Washington, D.C. native was the 74th overall pick by the Dodgers in 2025 out of the University of Virginia. Sborz was traded to the Rangers in exchange for RHP Jhan Zambrano on Feb. 16th, 2021.

The RoughRiders begin their three-game series against the Hooks at 7:05 p.m. on Friday, July 18th from Riders Field.
