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.
Tristan Gray – Tampa Bay Rays
Gray has continued to fill in as a utility player for the Rays, seeing time at shortstop, first base and as a pinch hitter over the past few days. Despite not currently being an everyday player, Gray’s bat has started to heat up. He went 3-for-5 this week with his third home run of the season and a double.
His seventh-inning solo shot on Sunday propelled the Rays to a 5-4 win over the White Sox and was his third home run in his last six games.
Through September 9, Gray is hitting .244 with five extra-base hits, three walks and 12 strikeouts. His OPS is .201. He’s collected seven RBI.
Injured List
Dane Myers – Miami Marlins
Myers last appeared in a major league game on August 30 and was since placed on the 10-day injured list with an oblique strain.
Through September 9, Myers is hitting .233 with 15 extra-base hits, 23 walks and 75 strikeouts. His OPS is .618. He’s collected 27 RBI and stolen 17 bases.
Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels
Rendon has been out of the news since it was reported he would miss a significant amount of time following hip surgery this spring. There have been no updates from the Angels or his camp since then.
Matt Canterino – Twins AAA
Canterino underwent season-ending surgery this spring and was released by the Twins before subsequently signing back with the club on a minor league contract while he undergoes rehab.
