Rangers Sign LHP Austin Gomber to Minor-League Deal With Spring Invite

The 32-year-old arrives as rotation depth following an injury-hit 2025.

Overview

  • The minor-league agreement includes a spring-training invitation, according to reporter Aram Leighton.
  • A five-year Rockies tenure ended in August after a 0–7 record and 7.49 ERA in 12 starts, with a 60-day IL stint for shoulder soreness that cost him April and May.
  • After his release, Gomber posted a 2–0 record with a 0.47 ERA in four outings for Triple-A Iowa in the Cubs system.
  • Texas added higher-upside lefty Mackenzie Gore earlier this week in a five-prospect trade, positioning Gomber as depth rather than a rotation fixture.
  • He owns a 35–47 record and 5.08 ERA across 168 MLB games (124 starts) with St. Louis and Colorado, with a profile more about command than velocity.
