The 2022 MLB season is underway and Rice baseball alums are busy on the mound and at the plate. Here’s the latest from the MLB Owls.
Tyler Duffey – Minnesota Twins
Duffey worked twice this week, both instances coming in a weekend series against the Diamondbacks. On Friday he threw one scoreless inning, allowing no hits. On Sunday he worked 2.1 scoreless innings, allowing one hit with one strikeout. It was a strong set of games for Duffey who had given up multiple runs in two of his three most recent prior outings.

J.T. Chargois – Tampa Bay Rays
