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
Chargois saw action in three games this week, working 2.2 innings with mixed results. He earned a hold in his first appearance of the week, finishing off a scoreless sixth inning to earn a hold. A few days later he was charged with a blown save against the Rangers, giving up a solo home run in the seventh inning.
Through Sep. 24, Chargois has a 2.31 ERA with a 1.029 WHIP. He’s averaging 7.7 strikeouts per nine innings.
Dane Myers – Miami Marlins
Myers made his return from the injured list this week, playing in his first game since Junly 13. He had one place appearance in the ninth inning of a 4-1 Marlins win, drawing a walk.
Through Sep. 24, Myers was hitting .265 with eight extra-base hits, eight walks and 32 strikeouts. His OPS is .765 and he’s collected 14 RBI.
Injured List
Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels
Rendon is on the injured list for the third time this season with an oblique strain. There’s only so much baseball left to be played this year so it’s possible this is the last time we’ll see Rendon on the diamond before the 2024 season, hopefully after an offseason to get healthy and return to old self.
Through Sep 24, Rendon is hitting .224 with 10 extra-base hits, 22 walks and 35 strikeouts. His OPS is .590 and he’s collected 11 RBI.
