Sean Kazmar Jr. - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Calls end to career Kazmar announced his retirement from professional baseball Nov. 15.

Impact The 37-year-old ended his 17-year professional career in storybook fashion in 2021, as the longtime minor-league infielder received a call-up to Atlanta from Triple-A Gwinnett in April and played in three games with the big club. Kazmar's April 17 appearance with Atlanta marked his first big-league action in 13 years, after he previously received a cup of coffee with the Padres in 2008. Though Atlanta outrighted Kazmar off its 40-man roster in May and he remained at Gwinnett for the remainder of the season, he'll still receive a World Series ring for playing with the big club earlier in the campaign.

Optioned again Kazmar was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

Impact Kazmar has spent a pair of brief stints on the big-league roster but has gotten into just three games, all off the bench, going 0-for-2 at the plate. He could continue to bounce on and off the roster throughout the season whenever the team needs an extra infielder, but it's difficult to see a path to a regular role for the veteran.
