Rice Baseball 2025: MLB Owls Update – April 30

By

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 made an emphatic statement this week with a thrilling pinch-hit grand slam, eliminating a four-run deficit to the Los Angeles Dodgers with one swing of the bat. In four games this week, Myers went 6-for-8 with five RBI and an absurd 1.903 OPS, further boosting his numbers in an already impressive start to the season.

Through Apr. 30, Myers is hitting .351 with four extra-base hits, two walks and 15 strikeouts. His OPS is .864 and he’s collected 10 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.

Update: Canterino was released from his contract this week and promptly resigned to a two-year minor league contract days later.
