Mike Minor, unable to play catch without significant pain in his left shoulder, saw his 2022 season come to an end Friday when he was placed on the 15-day injured list.
For the 34-year-old left-hander, who struggled all year with a 4-12 record and a 6.06 ERA in his lone season with the Cincinnati Reds, it may represent the end of his 11-year career.
“I’m not closing the door, but it’s barely cracked,” said Minor, who will be a free agent. “It’s mostly if I get the itch to play, then maybe. It also goes along the same lines of if I feel good.
