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.
JT Chargois – Seattle Mariners
The well-traveled Chargois is on the move one more after being traded at the deadline to the Seattle Mariners, a team he previously spend part of the 2021 season with before being traded at the deadline that year to the Tampa Bay Rays. Chargois had a 3.00 ERA In 31 appearances for the Mariners that season.
Through July 30, Chargois has a 1.62 ERA with a 1.32 WHIP. He’s averaging 6.5 strikeouts per nine innings.
Injured List
Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels
Rendon can’t catch a break. The veteran third baseman was placed on the 10-day Injured List on Tuesday (retroactive to July 27) due to lower back inflation. He missed this past weekend’s games on Saturday and Sunday, participating in two weeks worth of contests in total since he returned from the injured list earlier in the month.
Through July 30, Rendon is hitting .227 with six extra-base hits, 11 walks and 26 strikeouts. His OPS is .562 and he’s collected six RBI.
Dane Myers – Miami Marlins
Myers’ strong season will be delayed several weeks. The Marlins’ outfielder fractured his left ankle during a game against the Reds prior to the All-Star Break. The injury occurred while kicking a clubhouse door. He later issued a statement on social media.
