Reliever Zack Britton, a two-time All-Star in 12 major league seasons, told The Athletic in a story published Monday that he is retiring from baseball.

Britton, who told The Athletic of his plans in an interview conducted earlier this month, said he is retiring in order to spend more time with his wife and their four children.

Britton, 35, last pitched in 2022 with the New York Yankees when he attempted to come back early from Tommy John surgery in order to help New York in the playoffs but instead landed back on the injured list after three appearances.
