• Dodgers' Michael Siani: Sent to Triple-A

  Rotowire Mar 16, 2026

  Siani was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Siani was scooped up off waivers by the Dodgers in early February, though he was unable to get his bat going during his time in big-league camp. He hit .143 with one double, three stolen bases and six runs scored in 16 games.

• Yankees' Michael Siani: Lands in Bronx

  Rotowire Jan 23, 2026

  The Yankees claimed Siani off waivers from the Dodgers on Friday. Siani is all glove and no bat, but his defense in center field is good enough that the Yankees felt he warranted a 40-man roster spot. The 26-year-old does have minor-league options remaining, so the Yanks could stash him at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to begin the 2026 season.

• Dodgers' Michael Siani: Cut from 40-man roster

  Rotowire Jan 21, 2026

  The Dodgers designated Siani for assignment Wednesday. With the Dodgers' signing of Kyle Tucker becoming official, a spot on the 40-man roster was needed. Siani had been a waiver claim of the Dodgers in December -- the second time this winter he's been claimed -- and he will now go through the waivers process again. The 26-year-old is a career .221/.277/.270 hitter at the big-league level, but his excellent center-field defense could be enough to pique interest from other teams.

• Braves' Michael Siani: Claimed by Atlanta

  Rotowire Nov 6, 2025

  Atlanta claimed Siani off waivers from the Cardinals on Thursday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports. Siani, who turns 27 in July, appeared in just 19 games for the Cardinals in 2025 after logging 334 plate appearances for the team in 2024. The defense-first outfielder will head to Atlanta with hopes of securing a larger role. Siani slashed .209/.307/.329 with eight home runs and 28 stolen bases for the Cardinals' Triple-A affiliate last season.

• Cardinals' Michael Siani: Back in minors

  Rotowire Jun 14, 2025

  The Cardinals optioned Siani to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. With Jordan Walker (wrist) returning from the injured list Saturday, Siani will end up as the odd man out of a spot on the Cardinals' bench. The 25-year-old outfielder has gone 4-for-17 while appearing in 19 MLB games this season and owns a .799 OPS across 133 plate appearances in Triple-A.

• Cardinals' Michael Siani: Optioned to Triple-A

  Rotowire Apr 22, 2025

  The Cardinals optioned Siani to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. He played sparingly behind starting center fielder Victor Scott, accruing only 17 plate appearances thus far. Siani will play more regularly at Memphis as he waits for another opportunity with the big club.

• Cardinals' Michael Siani: Starting season as reserve

  Rotowire Mar 23, 2025

  Victor Scott will be St. Louis' Opening Day center fielder, pushing Siani to a bench role, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Siani and Scott competed for the starting role in center field this spring, and Scott pulled away with outstanding numbers during the exhibition slate while Siani has posted an ugly .334 OPS over 47 plate appearances. Siani will still make the Opening Day roster, but he's slated to work as the Cardinals' fourth outfielder. Both Scott and Siani are left-handed batters, so if Scott performs well, he could be in the lineup nearly every day against both righties and lefties.

• Cardinals' Michael Siani: Good to go Friday

  Rotowire Mar 21, 2025

  Siani (illness) is starting in center field and batting leadoff in Friday's split-squad game against the Mets, John Denton of MLB.com reports. The outfielder has been battling an illness this week but is ready to return to spring action Friday. Siani is competing with Victor Scott for the starting job in center field, and both players will get a start at the position in separate split-squad games. Siani has gone 4-for-40 through 13 appearances in spring training, while Scott has torn the cover off the ball with a 1.133 OPS.

• Cardinals' Michael Siani: Scratched Monday with illness

  Rotowire Mar 17, 2025

  The Cardinals scratched Siani from the lineup for Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals due to an illness, John Denton of MLB.com reports. Victor Scott -- who looks to be Siani's main competition for primary duties in center field to begin the season -- will shift over from left field to replace Siani. Assuming he can quickly shake off the illness, Siani will have a few more opportunities this spring to stake his claim to a near-everyday role. The 25-year-old Siani drew high marks for his defense last season, but aside from going 20-for-23 in stolen-base attempts, his fantasy profile was relatively hollow. Siani hit just .228 with two home runs, 42 runs and 20 RBI over his 334 plate appearances, most of which came at the bottom of the lineup.

• Cardinals' Michael Siani: Competing for center field job

  Rotowire Feb 24, 2025

  Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol considers the center field job an open competition between Siani, Victor Scott and Lars Nootbaar, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. If the Cardinals had been able to trade Nolan Arenado, Nootbaar would've been slated for everyday left fielder duty. With Arenado still around -- at least for now -- Brendan Donovan will see more time in left field, which would push Nootbaar to center. Siani and Scott are the superior defenders, though, and will have an opportunity to stake their claim to the job. The 26-year-old Siani led St. Louis with 96 starts in center field in 2024 and is an elite defender, but he was one of the worst hitters in baseball with a lowly .570 OPS.

• Cardinals' Michael Siani: Reaches 20-steal mark

  Rotowire Sep 25, 2024

  Siani went 1-for-2 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Rockies. Amid a 4-for-37 skid over his last 13 games, Siani's playing time has taken a hit. He's still picked up five steals over his last 15 contests, giving him 20 thefts on 23 attempts this season. The center fielder is at a .237/.286/.296 slash line with two home runs, 20 RBI and 40 runs scored through 119 games. While his defense has kept him in the lineup regularly, Siani could lose playing time to Victor Scott while the latter is on the major-league roster.

• Cardinals' Michael Siani: On bench vs. right-hander again

  Rotowire Sep 22, 2024

  Siani is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians. The left-handed-hitting Siani has now been excluded from the lineup twice during the series with Cleveland, with both absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers. Thomas Saggese cracked the lineup in Siani's stead Friday, but Matt Carpenter will serve as the Cardinals' designated hitter Sunday while Lars Nootbaar slides over from left field to cover Siani's usual spot in center field.

His absence will move Brendan Donovan to the outfield while Thomas Saggese starts at second base and bats sixth.

• Cardinals' Michael Siani: Registers steal in Wednesday's win

  Rotowire Sep 11, 2024

  Siani went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Reds. Siani had gone 0-for-9 with four strikeouts over his previous three games. He was able to snap the slump in the eighth inning, getting on base with a single and scoring on a Paul Goldschmidt double. Siani has three steals over eight games since he returned from an oblique injury. He's now 17-for-20 on the basepaths this year while adding a .246/.286/.308 slash line, two home runs, 20 RBI and 38 runs scored over 109 contests. He is likely to go unchallenged for playing time after Victor Scott was sent down to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

• Cardinals' Michael Siani: Provides key hit in win

  Rotowire Sep 4, 2024

  Siani went 1-for-4 with two RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 7-4 extra-innings win over the Brewers. Siani came through with a two-run single in the 12th inning to put the Cardinals ahead for good. This was his second game back after a four-week absence with an oblique strain. He's regained a starting job in center field, relegating Victor Scott to a speed-and-defense role off the bench. Siani has been excellent defensively without being a black hole on offense, slashing .253/.296/.320 with 10 extra-base hits, 20 RBI, 37 runs scored and 15 steals over 103 contests this season.

  Rotowire Aug 22, 2024

  Siani (oblique) took a full round of batting practice Thursday, John Denton of MLB.com reports. It's the first time he's done so since landing on the 10-day injured list in early August with a right oblique strain.

The center fielder has a shot to return before the end of August.
