Rest-of-Season Projections
Ending career
Dunn announced Tuesday that he has elected to retire from professional baseball, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Citing a desire to spend more time with his family, the 34-year-old Dunn will step away from baseball after spending parts of 11 seasons in the majors with the Yankees, Braves, Marlins and Rockies. Dunn enjoyed his best years as a lefty specialist for Miami from 2011 through 2016, with his success in that role earning him a three-year, $18 million deal from the Rockies prior to the 2017 season. Dunn's numbers fell off in a major way during his time in Colorado, and MLB's decision to implement a three-batter minimum in 2020 likely resulted in him drawing limited interest when he became a free agent this winter. Rather than accepting a minor-league deal and pursuing a long-shot bid at an Opening Day roster spot, Dunn will end his playing days with a 4.00 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 9.7 K/9 across 555 career appearances in the majors.

After a tough first year in Colorado, Dunn was bit hard by the injury bug in his second go-around. He got off to a slow start to the season, allowing nine earned runs in 7.2 innings, but he turned things around with just one run allowed in May. Things went south after that, as he spent time on the disabled list in June due to a shoulder injury. After pitching ineffectively after his return, it was determined that he had an AC joint sprain in the same shoulder he had injured earlier, shutting him down for the rest of the season and leaving him with a horrendous 9.00 ERA and 2.35 WHIP. His strikeout numbers were less than impressive, as he only fanned 6.4 batters per nine innings. Dunn has one more year on his contract with the Rockies, but at this point, Jake McGee and Chris Rusin are higher in the pecking order among lefties in the team's bullpen, limiting Dunn's role even if his health issues subside.
