The righty\u2019s deal contained an unspecified June opt-out date. It\u2019s not clear if Sborz formally opted out or if Texas preemptively released him after determining he wouldn\u2019t make the MLB club.<\/p>\n<p>Sborz pitched parts of four MLB seasons with Texas between 2021-24. While he had a mostly nondescript 4.86 earned run average across 150 regular season innings, he carved out a place in team history in October \u201923. Sborz worked 12 frames of one-run ball over 10 appearances during the Rangers title run. He was one of Bruce Bochy\u2019s top setup arms and fired 2 1\/3 scoreless innings to earn the save in the World Series clinching Game 5 at Chase Field.<\/p>\n<p>Shoulder problems have mostly hampered him since that triumphant moment. Sborz was limited to 16 2\/3 innings in 2024. He missed all of last season working back from a debridement procedure, as he encountered a setback during a brief minor league rehab attempt. Texas opted not to tender him an arbitration contract but was able to retain him via minor league deal.<\/p>\n<p>The 32-year-old has been healthy this year but hasn\u2019t pitched well enough to earn a roster spot. Sborz allowed 13 runs across 14 1\/3 innings at Triple-A Round Rock. He fanned 17 of 65 opponents (26.1%) but issued nine walks and gave up six home runs. He spent a month working on his mechanics outside of game action before being reassigned to Double-A a couple weeks ago. Texas bumped him back to Round Rock on May 27. He allowed hits to five of 10 batters faced in two innings before the release.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019d be surprising if Sborz secures a major league deal given his recent form. He\u2019ll presumably look for a new landing spot on a minor league contract in an effort to get on track. Sborz\u2019s 93.4 mph average fastball speed in Triple-A this year is down a couple ticks from his peak.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>View Comments (6)<\/main><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rangers have parted ways with a former World Series hero.
