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’ largest contribution this week was a clutch ninth-inning home run to tie things up against the Red Sox on Sunday. Miami would tack on two more to win the game with Myers making that opportunity possible.
Through August 19, Myers is hitting .237 with 15 extra-base hits, 21 walks and 71 strikeouts. His OPS is .629. He’s collected 27 RBI and stolen 16 bases.
Tristan Gray – Tampa Bay Rays
Gray appeared in one game this week, entering in the eighth inning on Saturday as a pinch runner with his team trailing by one run. Gray would come around to score the game tying run and finish out the contest at first base.
Through August 19, Gray is hitting .071 with no walks and five strikeouts in just 14 plate appearances. He collected one RBI and one hit.
Injured List
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.

- Evan Kravetz – Louisville Bats (Reds)
- Glenn Otto – Sugar Land Space Cowboys (Astros)
