Clay Hensley announced his retirement from professional baseball on Sunday. |
The 34-year-old right-hander was cut from the Nationals during spring training and had been pitching for the Sugar Land Skeeters in the Independent Atlantic League.

Thu Mar 20 2014 | 19:55 | Nationals give seven their walking papers |
Nationals released RHPs Clay Hensley, Martires Arias and Greg Holt, LHP Casey Selsor, SS Kyle Attl, and 2Bs Taylor Wrenn and Drew Rossi. |
The fantasy relevance of the six outside of Hensley can be summed up by Rotoworld having done a combined zero previous updates on them. Hensley didn't pitch in the majors last season, posting a 3.92 ERA in 19 Triple-A appearances before finishing out the year in independent ball. He should be able to snatch up a middle relief gig at the Triple-A level, while the rest will scramble to offer their services as organizational soldiers. |
