Lorenzo Cain

Former Kansas City Royals and Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain will retire this summer in Kansas City.

Fantasy Impact

Cain began his career with the Brewers in 2010 before spending his prime seasons in Kansas City from 2011-2017. He finished his career with five more seasons with the Brewers but was released midway through the 2022 season. Cain finishes his career with a lifetime .283 average with 87 home runs, 190 stolen bases, and a .750 OPS across 1,171 career appearances. The 2015 World Series champion made two All-Star appearances in 2015 and 2018, finishing in the top seven in MVP voting in each of those campaigns.

Lorenzo Cain was designated for assignment on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Cain characterized the move as a mutual decision, and it happened on the day he reached 10 years of MLB service. He had talked openly about retiring at the end of his contract this year, so it's unclear if he has any desire to latch on with another team this season. Cain was batting just .179 this year, so he's unlikely to make a fantasy impact even if he decides to continue playing this year.

Lorenzo Cain went 1-for-4 Saturday, doubling and driving in one run in the Brewers' 8-6 loss to the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact

Cain has done little when called upon by the Brewers, hitting an atrocious .045 with one run scored and one run batted in over his last seven games. The 36-year-old offers little incentive for fantasy owners at this point, hitting .168 with 16 runs scored, one home run, and eight runs batted in through 41 games this season.

Brewers CF Lorenzo Cain went 3-for-4 Sunday, singling twice, homering, scoring two runs, and driving in three runs in the Brewers' 8-0 win over the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Cain has been a shell of the player once regarded as a perennial all-star. The veteran outfielder carries a .198 batting average with one home run, 15 runs scored, and seven runs batted in through 33 games this season.

Brewers CF Lorenzo Cain went 1-for-4 Thursday, doubling in the Brewers' 4-3 win over the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Cain continues to struggle at the plate for the Brewers, hitting .182 over his last seven games for the club. The veteran outfielder holds little fantasy appeal at this point in his career, hitting .183 with two stolen bases and four runs batted in through 31 games this season.
