Suzuki will officially retire following the end of the 2022 season, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. After putting up a career-worst .562 OPS so far in 2022, the 38-year-old backstop has decided to call it a career after 16 years in the majors once the Angels finish their season. Suzuki wraps things up as a one-time All Star and World Series champion.

Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's victory over Toronto. Suzuki tagged Ross Stripling for a solo home run in the fourth inning to pad the Angels' lead. The veteran has been the No. 2 catcher behind Max Stassi and has not been very effective. Sunday's home run was just his eighth extra-base hit in 48 games this season, and his .179 average would be the worst of his career by over 50 points.

Suzuki will start at catcher and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Since the All-Star break, the Angels' No. 2 catcher is hitting .222 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run over 10 contests.
