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’s electric start to the season was slowed, at least briefly, by an oblique injury that landed him on the 10-day injured list on Monday. In his final appearance before his forced time off, Myers went 1-for-3 against the White Sox with a run scored and a stolen base, his seventh of the season thus far, and potentially the play which caused the injury.

Expected to get imaging done on the injury.
A lot of irrelevant options for replacement here, unfortunately pic.twitter.com/BeArqK172K
Through May 14, Myers is hitting .337 with six extra-base hits, five walks and 21 strikeouts. His OPS is .857 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. The Twins since released him and signed him to a minor league contract while he rehabs.
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)
