Bray had expressed intent to continue his career in February, but he says he injured his left shoulder again and will need labrum surgery.
Bray retires with a 3.74 ERA in 197 1/3 innings with the Reds and Nationals. We wish him the best of luck post-baseball.
An interesting Bray factoid from @BRefPlayIndex:Bill Bray (@wpbray) faced Prince Fielder & Ryan Howard more than anyone else in his career, they hit a combined .071/.212/.071 against him.
