Lindblom announced via his person Twitter account Thursday he is retiring from professional baseball. Lindblom elected free agency in November after spending the past three seasons with the Brewers, and he won't continue his MLB career in 2023. The 35-year-old had a 4.78 ERA across 209 innings during his seven years in the big leagues.

Lindblom elected free agency Sunday. Following a strong run overseas in Korea, Lindblom signed a three-year, $9.1 million deal with the Brewers in December 2019 with the expectation that he would be a serviceable back-end starter for the club, but he was outrighted off the 40-man roster less than a season and a half into his tenure with Milwaukee. He hasn't resurfaced in the big leagues since being designated for assignment in May 2021, as he spent the entire 2022 campaign at Triple-A Nashville, where he submitted a 4.05 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 133.1 innings. With his contract expiring, Lindblom had the option of sticking around in the Brewers organization as a depth arm at Nashville, but he'll instead explore his options in free agency as he heads into his age-36 campaign. If Lindblom doesn't retire or isn't willing to accept a minor-league deal, he could look to return overseas, where he would likely be in store for a more lucrative payday in light of his past success in Asia.

Lindblom cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville on Friday. The 33-year-old was designated for assignment Wednesday by the Brewers and will remain in the organization after going unclaimed on waivers. Lindblom had a 9.72 ERA, 1.98 WHIP and 17:10 K:BB over 16.2 innings, and he'll likely need to show a significant turnaround at Triple-A to receive another big-league chance this season.

Lindblom was designated for assignment Wednesday. The righty reliever failed to make it halfway through the second year of his three-year deal, with his 9.72 ERA this season too egregious to afford him any more time on the Brewers' active roster. Lindblom struggled similarly in a starting role last season, posting a slightly less alarming 5.16 ERA. Left-hander Eric Lauer was recalled Wednesday to fill the DFA'd Lindblom's roster spot.

Lindblom (knee) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Lindblom had been on the injured list since April 24 due to right knee effusion. Prior to his injury, he posted a 10.97 ERA and 2.25 WHIP in 10.2 innings across five relief appearances. The right-hander will likely serve as a low-leverage reliever going forward.
