Dillard announced his retirement via his personal Twitter feed Wednesday. Dillard was released by the Rangers at the end of February after signing a minor-league contract during the offseason, and he'll elect to hang up his cleats instead of searching for another deal. The 37-year-old mainly pitched in the minors during his career but spent four seasons in the majors with the Brewers between 2008 and 2012. During that time, the right-hander posted a 4.70 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 62:29 K:BB over 73 relief appearances.

The Rangers released Dillard on Thursday. After inking a minor-league deal with Texas over the winter, Dillard was expected to serve as a swingman at Triple-A Round Rock this season. The organization apparently had a change of heart, however, and Dillard will now hit the open market. Set to turn 38 years old in July, Dillard could opt for retirement if he doesn't find an offer to his liking.

Dillard signed another minor-league contract with the Rangers on Monday. Dillard will be heading into his third year as a member of the Rangers' organization, though he's yet to represent them at the big-league level. The 37-year-old hasn't thrown a big-league pitch for any club since appearing for the Brewers back in 2012.

Dillard returned to the Rangers on a minor-league contract Monday. Dillard will receive an invitation to big-league camp as part of the deal. It's unlikely that he'll win an Opening Day roster spot, as he hasn't pitched in the majors since 2012.

Dillard was sent to minor-league camp Tuesday. Dillard was never likely to earn a major-league roster spot, as he's a 35-year-old who hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2012. He'll fill an organizational depth role this season.
