Rest of Season
Two-time Cy Young winner retires
Kluber announced his retirement from professional baseball Friday, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
The final five seasons of Kluber's career were filled with injuries and some lackluster production. However, the 37-year-old's six-year run from 2013 through 2018 is unimpeachable, as he compiled a 2.96 ERA and 1,364 strikeouts over 1238.2 innings during that span while making three All-Star Game appearances and taking home two American League Cy Young awards. Kluber finished with a career 3.44 ERA and 116 wins over 13 major-league seasons.

Kluber was everything the Rays asked him to be, and nothing more. They gave him a one-year deal for $8M with a workload bonus for $5 more, and he exceeded that workload target making all 31 starts with flashes of previous awesomeness while helping mentor the younger upside arms in the rotation. He resumed his stinginess with walks which evaded him in 2021, but the strikeout rate fell to below league average for a starting pitcher and his fastball and cutter were simply too hittable. He went six innings or more in 16 of his 31 starts, which is saying something given Cash's tendencies to pull guys and he still managed a quality start in 15 of his 31 outings. The overall numbers were punished by a handful of rough outings which saw him allow 26 earned runs in 12 innings of work. He may have another serviceable year in him for the Red Sox after he signed another one-year deal, though he'll likely take a step back with Fenway Park being more friendly to hitters and Boston's defense not being anything special.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could return to rotation
According to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic, Kluber is in the mix to rejoin Boston's rotation after Tanner Houck was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a facial fracture.
ANALYSIS
Kluber was demoted to the bullpen in late May and has surrendered 10 earned runs in 10.1 frames as a reliever, though most of that damage came in one outing. The veteran right-hander has a 6.75 ERA in 14 appearances this year. Nick Pivetta is also being considered as a rotation option.
