Veteran Lefty Austin Gomber Signs Minor League Contract with Rangers with Invite to Spring
Gomber, seeking to rebound after a difficult 2025 season, joins Rangers' minor league with spring training invite to compete for a pitching role in 2026.
- On Thursday, veteran left-hander Austin Gomber signed a minor-league contract with the Texas Rangers that includes a major-league spring-training invitation, alongside nine players including 19-year-old infielder Sebastian Walcott.
- After missing the first 2 1/2 months with left shoulder soreness, Gomber went 0-7 with a 7.49 ERA in 12 starts and was released in late August.
- A look at Gomber's résumé shows the 32-year-old left-hander is 35-47 with a 5.08 ERA in 168 games and was a 2014 fourth-round draft pick by St. Louis before a six-player trade to Colorado in 2021.
- Pitchers and catchers report Feb. 10 in Surprise, Arizona, with the first full-squad workout Feb. 15, creating the schedule for Gomber's spring audition under his major-league invitation.
- Walcott will be in his second consecutive big-league spring training after hitting.255 with 13 home runs, 59 RBIs, 70 walks and 32 stolen bases in 124 games for Double-A Frisco last season.
