ARLINGTON, Texas -- Daniel Murphy's surprising comeback bid ended with him going on the voluntarily retired list after playing 38 games with the Los Angeles Angels' Triple-A team.
Murphy a three-time All-Star infielder, was no longer on the active roster for the Salt Lake Bees on Tuesday, two days after he went 1-for-5 in his final game. His last major league game was with the Colorado Rockies during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, after which he said he was retiring.
Murphy, 38, hit .295 for the Bees with one homer and 25 RBIs in 40 games.
