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
Another week, another thrilling play by Dane Myers, helping to encapsulate a truly remarkable season by the former Rice baseball great. This time, the big moment came on the basepaths, complementing another strong week in the field and with his bat.
BOLD move by Dane Myers to steal third base with the game on the line. Insane body control to stay connected to the bag.

Through July 2, Myers is hitting .298 with 12 extra-base hits, 12 walks and 41 strikeouts. His OPS is .770 and he’s collected 20 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)
