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
Myers has been out of the lineup for the last few days after a rather impressive start to his 2025 campaign. He went 2-for-5 on April 9, his last start this week, hitting fifth in the lineup and playing center field, his usual position.

Through Apr. 16, Myers is hitting .333 with two extra-base hits, one walk and eight strikeouts. His OPS is .755 and he’s collected two 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.
Knocking on the Door
The following Owls began the season in AAA:
- JT Chargois – Round Rock Express (Rangers)
- Tristan Gray – Charlotte Knights (White Sox)
- Evan Kravetz – Louisville Bats (Reds)
- Glenn Otto – Sugar Land Space Cowboys (Astros)
