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 – Seattle Mariners
Chargois only saw action in one game this week, but he made it count, picking up his third win of the season. He entered Friday’s game against the Texas Rangers and tossed a scoreless eighth inning before the Mariner’s bats woke up in the bottom half of the inning, scoring three runs and handing Chargois the W. He’s 3-1 on the season.
Through Sep 17, Chargois has a 2.23 ERA with a 1.052 WHIP. He’s averaging 8.1 strikeouts per nine innings.
Tristan Gray – Oakland Athletics
Gray was optioned to Triple A this past week following eight appearances with the A’s in which he hit.143 with three walks and 13 strikeouts. His OPS with Oakland was .441.
Injured List
Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels
Rendon went on the injured list for the third time this season with an oblique strain. There’s only so much baseball left to be played this year so it’s possible this is the last time we’ll see Rendon on the diamond before the 2024 season, hopefully after an offseason to get healthy and return to old self.
Through Sep 17, Rendon is hitting .224 with 10 extra-base hits, 22 walks and 35 strikeouts. His OPS is .590 and he’s collected 11 RBI.
Dane Myers – Miami Marlins
Myers began a rehab assignment for AAA Jacksonville this week, signaling a possible return before the end of the regular season. He’s been on the 60-Day injured list since July 13.
Before he hit the IL, Myers was hitting .265 with eight extra-base hits, seven walks and 32 strikeouts. His OPS is .759 and he’s collected 14 RBI.
