The Texas Rangers have placed relief pitcher Josh Sborz on the 15 day injured list with a right shoulder strain. To take his place on the active roster, the Rangers have recalled reliever Grant Anderson from AAA Round Rock.
Sborz left last night’s game due to what was said to at the time to be shoulder soreness, so this is a surprise. The Rangers used six relief pitchers last night to go 5.1 innings, so a move involving Sborz to get a fresh arm up seemed likely.
Anderson was one of the last cuts this spring, and figures to be one of the guys shuttled between AAA and the majors throughout the 2024 season.
