Announces retirement from baseball Cooper has announced his retirement from professional baseball.

Impact Cooper began the 2025 season at Triple-A Gwinnett in the Atlanta organization, but he was released in May and never caught on with a new team after that. The 34-year-old played in parts of eight major-league seasons, finishing with a solid .265/.333/.427 batting line and 57 home runs. Cooper made one All-Star team in 2022 with the Marlins.

Released by Atlanta Atlanta released Cooper on Sunday.

Impact Cooper inked a minor-league contract over the offseason but has been cut loose after slashing just .228/.312/.309 in 35 games with Triple-A Gwinnett. The 34-year-old will now be on the lookout for another minor-league deal elsewhere.

Joins Atlanta on MiLB deal Cooper agreed to a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Sunday that includes an invitation to big-league spring training, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Cooper had a .566 OPS in 36 games between the Red Sox and Cubs last season and spent much of the campaign at Triple-A Norfolk in the Orioles organization. The 34-year-old has experience at first base and the corner outfield, but he'll likely need a strong showing in spring training to have a chance of making the Opening Day roster.

Not in Wednesday's lineup Cooper is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Baltimore, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Tyler O'Neill (knee) is out for a fourth straight game, but Rob Refsynder has been the preferred option at designated hitter of late, even against right-handed pitchers. Cooper has now started just two of the last nine games for the Red Sox, though he missed some time during that stretch due to right shoulder discomfort.
