ARLINGTON, Texas — Texas Rangers reliever Josh Sborz has been activated from the injured list after missing nearly two months because of a right rotator cuff strain. Sborz got the final seven outs in the Rangers' World Series-clinching game last fall. The right-hander was 1-0 with a 1.69 ERA in seven appearances this season entering Friday's game against Tampa Bay. Also Friday, the Rangers put right-hander Dane Dunning on the 15-day IL for the second time this season with right shoulder soreness.
