Baltimore placed the outfielder on the restricted list after he told the club Tuesday he was leaving. Rasmus informed manager Buck Showalter of his decision prior to a game against the Phillies.

”Colby talked to me this afternoon and said he made the decision to go home and discontinue playing http://www.dolphinsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-michael-deiter-jersey ,” Showalter said. ”We’re going to honor that. Give him the privacy he’s due, and hope everything is for the best. Wish him well, and we’ll see what the future brings.”

Rasmus was hitting .133 with one homer in 18 games this season after signing a one-year, $3 million deal in the offseason. A 2005 first-round pick of the Cardinals, Rasmus left Tampa Bay in midseason last year after dealing with similar hip problems.

He hit his only homer on June 21 on the same day he was activated from the 60-day DL with a left hip flexor strain Garrett Bradbury Jersey , but he was hitless in his last 11 at-bats.

There’s still considerable uncertainty in Baltimore for next season.But as things stand today, their quarterback situation will look like it did today.Via Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, coach John Harbaugh put to bed any simmering controversy, installing Lamar Jackson as the lone quarterback of the future.“Lamar is our quarterback going forward,” Harbaugh said.That was a popular opinion over the previous seven weeks http://www.vikingsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-irv-smith-jr.-jersey , and the last seven minutes of Sunday’s loss to the Chargers. But before that, fans were booing and hoping Flacco might replace the rookie. Harbaugh said he considered making the change, but it’s clear he’s staking the franchise to Jackson.He also seemed to make it clear that the intent would be to trade veteran former starter Joe Flacco.“Joe can still play,” he told reporters. “Joe’s going to have a market, a lot of teams are going to want Joe. . . . . Joe Flacco is a great talent Alexander Mattison Jersey , he’s a better person, he’s the best QB in the history of the Ravens, . . . he’s going to be just fine.”Creating a trade market for Flacco will only benefit Harbaugh, who also addressed one of the other elephants in the room by saying he wanted to stay in Baltimore and got the impression his bosses wanted that too.
