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 was reinstated from the injured list prior to the Marlins’ May 30 game against the Giants and has appeared in six games since then, collecting a double and scoring a run. While his bat has been relatively quiet, his defense has spoken volumes:
Through June 4, Myers is hitting .302 with seven extra-base hits, seven walks and 23 strikeouts. His OPS is .793 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)
