The Texas Rangers have signed Tyler Zombro to a minor-league contract.

Zombro is expected to report to the Triple-A Round Rock Express.

The right-hander suffered a fractured skull after being struck in the head with a line drive in summer 2021 and had to undergo emergency brain surgery.

Zombro made his triumphant return to the mound last April only to then require surgery to correct his thoracic outlet syndrome after making all of two appearances.

The Tampa Bay Rays subsequently released him.
