Rice Baseball 2024: MLB Owls Update – May 2

May 3, 2024 By Matthew Bartlett

The 2024 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.

Tyler Duffey – Kansas City Royals

Duffey saw action in his second game since being called up this week, working 1.2 innings against the Blue Jays on Monday. He allowed two hits and one run while striking out two of the eight batters he faced.

Through May 2, Duffey has a 2.45 ERA with a 1.091 WHIP. He’s averaging 12.3 strikeouts per nine innings.

Dane Myers – Miami Marlins

Myers was called up at the end of April and wasted no time making his mark on the Marlins roster. He tripled in his first game and then hit a walk-off winner two days later. His family was in the stands for the big moment.

Through May 2, Myers is hitting .455 with one extra-base hit, three walks and two strikeouts. His OPS is 1.136 and he’s collected five RBI.

Injured List

J.T. Chargois – Miami Marlins

Chargois reportedly suffered a setback in his rehab from neck spasms this week. No timetable has been provided for his potential return to the roster.

Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels

Rendon is expected to miss a lengthy amount of time after suffering a partial tear in his left hamstring in late April. There is no timetable for his return as of yet, a frustrating development after a red-hot end of the month prior to suffering the injury.

Through May 2, Rendon is hitting .267 with three extra-base hits, six walks and 15 strikeouts. His OPS is .632 and he’s collected three RBI.

Glenn Otto – San Diego Padres

Prior to the beginning of the season, Otto was placed on the 15-Day Injured List on March 19 with a right teres major strain.
