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)
