The 2024 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.
JT Chargois – Miami Marlins
Chargois made his 2024 MLB debut last week, returning from the injured list to throw 1.1 scoreless innings against the New York Mets. He followed that up with two additional scoreless appearances, keeping his ERA a spotless 0.00 through his first week of pro action this year.
Through June 18, Chargois has a 0.00 ERA with a 1.200 WHIP. He’s averaging 5.4 strikeouts per nine innings.
Dane Myers – Miami Marlins
Myers has played very sparingly in the month of June, playing a full nine innings at least once. He’s entered games as a late defensive replacement on several occasions and been removed in favor of a pinch hitter at the end of games as well. As a result, he’s only had more than two at bats in a single game twice since June 1.
Through June 18, Myers is hitting .204 with four extra-base hits, four walks and 23 strikeouts. His OPS is .624 and he’s collected nine RBI.
Tyler Duffey – Kansas City Royals
Duffey was designated for assignment by the Royals at the end of May, ending a nine-game stint with the club that lasted roughly a month. He was 1-0 with a hold over that time, making nine appearances, including three that went longer than one inning. For now, he’ll return to the AAA club.
Through June 18, Duffey has a 5.00 ERA with a 1.667 WHIP. He’s averaging 10.0 strikeouts per nine innings.
Injured List
Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels
Rendon is expected to miss a lengthy amount of time after suffering a partial tear in his left hamstring in late April. There is no timetable for his return as of yet, a frustrating development after a red-hot end of the month prior to suffering the injury.
Through May 2, Rendon is hitting .267 with three extra-base hits, six walks and 15 strikeouts. His OPS is .632 and he’s collected three RBI.
Glenn Otto – San Diego Padres
Prior to the beginning of the season, Otto was placed on the 15-Day Injured List on March 19 with a right teres major strain. He has since been assigned to the Arizona Complex League for rehab.
