Rice Baseball 2023: MLB Owls update – June 28

By

The 2023 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.

J.T. Chargois – Miami Marlins

Chargois only made one appearance this week, but he made it count. He worked 1.1 scoreless innings on Saturday against the Pirates, allowing just one hit and no runs. He was rewarded with this third hold of the season as a result. He’s now gone three consecutive outings without allowing a run.

Through June 28, Chargois has a 3.53 ERA with a 1.200 WHIP. He’s averaging 6.4 strikeouts per nine innings.

Injured List

Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels

No official timetable has been announced, but Rendon appears to be on track for a return from the injured list in the semi-near future. Placed on the IL with a left wrist contusion retroactive to June 16, Rendon was taking batting practice on the field on Tuesday. That would seem to suggest he’s not too far away from making his return to the lineup.

Through June 28, Rendon is hitting .248 with seven extra-base hits, 21 walks and 22 strikeouts. His OPS is .682 and he’s collected 21 RBI.

Glenn Otto – Texas Rangers

Otto made his third rehab appearance this week, throwing four scoreless innings, his longest outing to date. He gave up three hits and one run while striking out seven. He now has 14 punchouts across 10 innings pitched during this rehab stint with a 2.70 ERA as he works toward a return to the major league rotation.

Rice Baseball 2023: MLB Owls update – June 21

By

The 2023 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.

J.T. Chargois – Miami Marlins

Chargois made two appearances this week, working a combined 2.1 innings, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out one. Posting back-to-back scoreless outings was huge for Chargois after a pair of rocky appearances the week prior.

Through June 21, Chargois has a 4.24 ERA with a 1.235 WHIP. He’s averaging 7.9 strikeouts per nine innings.

Injured List

Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels

Rendon received some bad news this week, landing back on the injured list after being hit by a pitch in the Angels’ Thursday win over the Rangers. Officially on the 10-day injured list, Rendon is eligible to return to play as soon as June 26.

Through June 21, Rendon is hitting .248 with seven extra-base hits, 21 walks and 22 strikeouts. His OPS is .682 and he’s collected 21 RBI.

Glenn Otto – Texas Rangers

Otto worked three scoreless innings, striking out a trio of batters in his second rehab stint with the Rangers’ AAA club on Sunday. He hasn’t shown any obvious signs of rust in the early goings despite having been shut down for the last several weeks since the middle of spring training. For the time being he’s on track to make a couple more rehab starts before a decision has to be made on his immediate future, whether with the Rangers or in AAA.

By

The Rice baseball pitching staff never quite settled in during the 2023 season. Individuals had their moments, but it was hard to know what was going to happen when the ball changed hands late in games, particularly in high-leverage situations. The starting rotation was addressed previously. This roundup focuses on the relievers.
