Rice Baseball 2025: MLB Owls Update – May 7

May 8, 2025 By Matthew Bartlett

The 2025 MLB season is underway and Rice baseball alums are making the most of their time in The Show. Here’s the latest from the MLB Owls.

Dane Myers – Miami Marlins

Myers’ electric start to the 2025 season isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Entering Wednesday, his batting average was still above .350, and he was riding an eight-game on-base streak, which came to a close against the Dodgers. In May alone, he’s slashing .316/.409/.526 in sixgames with three stolen bases. He’s made six consecutive starts in center field, one of which included this clutch late-game hit against the Dodgers.

Through May. 7, Myers is hitting .342 with six extra-base hits, five walks and 19 strikeouts. His OPS is .883 and he’s collected 14 RBI.

Injured List

Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels

Rendon is slated to miss a significant amount of time following him surgery this spring. The bad news is another bump in an injury-plagued stint with the Angels; Rendon missed a chunk of last season with an oblique strain.

Matt Canterino – Twins AAA

Canterino was thought to have a real chance to crack the big league roster at some point this season, converting himself to a reliver this offseason in hopes of limiting the stress on his arm and preserving his health. Unfortunately, he’s set to miss a third consecutive season, undergoing shoulder surgery in early March.

Update: Canterino was released from his contract this week and promptly resigned to a two-year minor league contract days later.

Knocking on the Door

The following Owls began the season in AAA:

  • Tristan Gray – Charlotte Knights (White Sox)
  • Evan Kravetz – Louisville Bats (Reds)
  • Glenn Otto – Sugar Land Space Cowboys (Astros)
