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 has become a fixture in the Miami lineup starting every game in June since his return from the injured list. He’s picked up a pair of doubles in that span with six hits and some impressive defense work as well. He’s been rewarded for his efforts by making the ballot for the All-Star Game following his tremendous start to the season. You can vote for him up to five times a day using this link.
Through June 11, Myers is hitting .307 with nine extra-base hits, eight walks and 30 strikeouts. His OPS is .796 and he’s collected 15 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)
