Sborz attended Langley High School in McLean, Virginia, and pitched for the school's baseball team. He threw a no-hitter in his senior year.[1] The Detroit Tigers selected Sborz in the second round of the 2003 MLB draft.[2] Sborz missed most of the 2006 season due to shoulder tendonitis, and had surgery that caused him to miss much of the 2007 season.[3]
The Tigers promoted Sborz to the major leagues on June 21, 2010, to take the roster spot of Rick Porcello, who was sent down to the minors the day before.[4] He made his major league debut the next day, at Citi Field against the New York Mets, and hit the first two batters he faced.[5] He was optioned to the Toledo Mud Hens two days later.[6]
Sborz's brother, Josh, has also pitched in MLB.[7]
