Right-hander Darren O'Day, who posted a 4.15 ERA in 28 games with the Atlanta Braves in 2022, announced Monday he is retiring after 15 seasons pitching for six teams in the major leagues.

O'Day posted on his Twitter account that "it's finally time to hang 'em up."

"The mental, physical and time demands have finally outweighed my love for the game," O'Day wrote.

The Baseball Writers' Association of America honored 2022 Cy Young winners Justin Verlander and Sandy Alcantara on Saturday night.

The pair received their respective Cy Young award plaques, both of which featured a misspelling.

Both award plaques that were given out misspelled the word "valuable," instead omitting the second A and recognizing the recipient as the "most valuble pitcher" in baseball.

Scott Rolen has been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, preventing a shutout in the BBWAA balloting for the second time in three years.

None of the other 27 players listed on the 2023 Hall ballot cleared the 75% threshold for election, though there were a couple of near-misses. The results of the balloting were revealed Tuesday during a broadcast on MLB.com.

Rolen, a longtime third baseman, was named on 76.3% of ballots cast in his sixth year of eligibility to earn enshrinement. 

Cubs Hall of Fame second baseman Ryne Sandberg will be immortalized outside of Wrigley Field in the summer of 2024 when the team unveils a statue of his likeness, the organization announced on Saturday.

Sandberg's statue will join those of Hall of Fame players Ron Santo, Billy Williams, Ernie Banks, Fergie Jenkins and announcer Harry Caray just outside the gates of the ballpark.

Sandberg found out about the honor when it was announced to the crowd -- which he was a part of -- during a seminar with ownership on Saturday morning.

"It caught me a little off guard," Sandberg said through a smile.

The Seattle Mariners will induct Felix Hernandez into their hall of fame during the 2023 season.

Hernandez will be the 11th inductee for the club. The ceremony will be held Aug. 12 during a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles.

He went 169-136 with a 3.42 ERA over parts of 15 seasons with the Mariners.

Hernandez started 418 of the 419 games he pitched for Seattle but never got the opportunity to pitch in the postseason.
