Summary
Austin Gomber, 32-year-old left-handed pitcher, was released by the Texas Rangers on May 16, 2026, after struggling in Triple-A Round Rock. In 9 games (8 starts) with the Rangers organization, he posted a 0-5 record with a 7.75 ERA, 1.66 WHIP, and 29:14 K:BB ratio over 33.2 innings. He subsequently signed a minor-league deal with the Atlanta Braves and was assigned to Triple-A Gwinnett.

He was released by the Rockies on August 22, 2025, and signed with the Cubs before joining the Rangers in January 2026.
