SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Free agent reliever Luke Jackson has signed a one-year deal with the Texas Rangers, his original team announced Monday.
The Rangers picked Jackson 45th overall in the 2010 amateur draft, and the right-hander made his big league debut for them in 2015. Jackson made 15 appearances for Texas before getting traded to Atlanta after the 2016 season.
Texas made room on its roster by putting reliever Josh Sborz on the 60-day injured list. The right-hander, who had the save in the Rangers' World Series-clinching game in Game 5 at Arizona in 2023, is rehabbing from right shoulder surgery in November.
