Chris Davis has announced his retirement from baseball.

Davis, 35, was going to miss the entire 2021 season after surgery in May to repair the labrum in his left hip.

"After an extended time dealing with my injury and recent hip surgery, I informed the Orioles about my decision to retire effective today," Davis said in a statement released by the Baltimore Orioles. "I want to thank the Orioles partnership group, led by the Angelos family, the Orioles organization, my teammates and coaches. ... Thank you all for the many memories that I will cherish forever."

Next year would have been the final season of Davis' seven-year, $161 million contract.
