Two-time All-Star reliever Ryan Pressly<\/a>retired Saturday after a 13-year career in which he collected 117 saves and helped the Houston Astros<\/a> win the 2022 World Series.<\/p>\n

“It’s bittersweet, but what a ride it’s been,” Pressly said in a statement announcing his retirement.<\/p>\n

Pressly, 37, recorded six saves and allowed only one unearned run over 11 innings during Houston’s 2022 postseason run. He compiled two saves and gave up just that one unearned run over 5 innings to help the Astros win the World Series over the Philadelphia Phillies<\/a>in six games.<\/p>\n

He went 37-39 with a 3.33 ERA and 117 career saves with the Minnesota Twins<\/a> (2013-18), Astros (2018-24) and Chicago Cubs<\/a> (2025). He made 667 career appearances — all in relief — and struck out 721 batters in 691 innings.<\/p>\n

Pressly made All-Star teams with Houston in 2019 and 2021. He was 3-1 with a 2.78 ERA and 14 saves in 47 career postseason appearances.br\/]<\/p>\n
