Rest-of-Season Projections
Calls end to career
Kalish announced his retirement Friday after appearing in one game for the New Britain Bees of the independent Atlantic League, Peter Gammons of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old Kalish knew heading into the season that his chronic knee problems wouldn't allow him to continue his career, but he wanted to get one final at-bat in the professional ranks before retiring. Kalish appeared in parts of four seasons in the majors with the Red Sox and Cubs, with his most recent big-league action coming in 2016. He slashed .245/.297/.349 across 422 career plate appearances while mostly serving as a reserve outfielder.

After missing all of 2013 with injuries, Kalish signed a minor league contract with the Cubs and managed to make the Opening Day roster. He had 91 mostly-lackluster at-bats before he was demoted in May, and he didn't fare much better in his cup of coffee back in the majors in September. Kalish became a free agent in November, and with serious injuries in his recent past, he may have a hard time finding a team that will give him more playing time than he got in 2014.
