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
It was a rather modest week for Dane Myers, who has kept up his impressive start to the season, both with his bat and in the field. He was held to three hits over the last six games with two RBI. An All-Star candidate, Myers did not earn a spot in the midsummer classic.
Through July 9, Myers is hitting .283 with 12 extra-base hits, 13 walks and 46 strikeouts. His OPS is .721 and he’s collected 22 RBI.
Tristan Gray – Chicago White Sox
Myers was briefly joined at the Major League level by another former Rice baseball slugger, Tristan Gray, who the White Sox called up on July 7 as a part of roster juggling that saw him with the team for just a day. Gray was promptly reverted to the AAA affiliate on July 8.
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)
