The 2023 MLB season is underway and Rice baseball alums are busy on the mound and at the plate. Here’s the latest from the MLB Owls.
J.T. Chargois – Miami Marlins
Chargois toed the rubber twice this week, both times against the Washington Nationals. He threw a scoreless seventh inning on Thursday but was less fortunate on Saturday, allowing four hits and two runs in the ninth in a non-save situation. The Marlins won both games.
Through September 5, Chargois has a 3.78 ERA with a 1.230 WHIP. He’s averaging 7.0 strikeouts per nine innings.
Glenn Otto – Texas Rangers
Otto was called up from AAA at the end of August and appeared in two games. He threw a scoreless ninth inning against the Twins on Friday, striking out one and allowing one hit. On Monday he was tagged with two runs in 1.1 innings by the Houston Astros, allowing two home runs. Afterward, he was designated for assignment to make room for Nathan Eovaldi and Ian Kennedy.
Through September 5, Otto has a 3.45 ERA with a 1.193 WHIP. He’s averaging 7.5 strikeouts per nine innings.
Injured List
Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels
Rendon was placed on the 60-day injured list, meaning he won’t be eligible to return to the club until September 9, at the earliest, during the regular season’s final weeks. There have been little updates on Rendon’s status to this point.
Through September 5, Rendon is hitting .236 with eight extra-base hits, 25 walks and 27 strikeouts. His OPS is .678 and he’s collected 22 RBI.
