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
Moved at the deadline, Chargois has been effective in his first couple of appearances with the Mariners. He threw 1.1 scoreless innings on Saturday, striking out one of the five batters he faced without allowing a hit. He followed that up with another scoreless outing the next day, tossing one inning with one strikeout and no hits allowed.
Through Aug 6, Chargois has a 1.42 ERA with a 1.158 WHIP. He’s averaging 6.6 strikeouts per nine innings.
Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels
Rendon spent the minimum allotted time on the Injured List, activated on Tuesday before the Angels game that day was postponed due to rain.
Through Aug 6, Rendon is hitting .227 with six extra-base hits, 11 walks and 26 strikeouts. His OPS is .562 and he’s collected six RBI.
Injured List
Dane Myers – Miami Marlins
Myers’ strong season will be delayed several weeks. The Marlins’ outfielder fractured his left ankle during a game against the Reds prior to the All-Star Break. The injury occurred while kicking a clubhouse door. He later issued a statement on social media.
Through July 30, Myers is hitting .265 with eight extra-base hits, seven walks and 32 strikeouts. His OPS is .759 and he’s collected 14 RBI.
