Magneuris Sierra - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Swipes two bags in start Sierra went 3-for-5 with a run scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Getting the start in right field and hitting leadoff, Sierra got plenty of chances to showcase his blazing speed. The 25-year-old doubled his stolen base total on the year with the performance, and he's batting .283 (17-for-60) while getting semi-regular playing time in May.

Not starting Wednesday Sierra isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Sierra had started each of the last six games and went 6-for-20 with a double, two runs and four strikeouts during that time. Adam Duvall will shift to center field while Garrett Cooper starts in right field.

Settles into everyday role Sierra will start in center field and bat eighth Tuesday against the Phillies, Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports.

Impact After going 6-for-17 with a pair of runs over the Marlins' last five contests, Sierra will stick in the lineup of the sixth game in a row. With Miami moving Lewis Brinson (undisclosed) to the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Sierra looks like he could have a decent amount of leash in an everyday role until the Marlins return Starling Marte (ribs) from the IL.

Still stuck on bench Sierra went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter during Sunday's loss to the Giants.

Impact Even with Starling Marte (ribs) sidelined, Sierra hasn't seen much of a bump in his playing time as he's started only one of six games since Marte was injured. Sierra has the speed to be an asset in steals if he ever got the opportunity, but he seems locked into a bench role. He's 1-for-13 (.077) to begin the season with four runs scored and one stolen base.

Pinch hits in Opening Day loss Sierra went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter during Thursday's 1-0 loss to the Rays.

Impact The 24-year-old made the Opening Day roster as a bench player, and Sierra was the first reserve called into action by manager Don Mattingly, striking out for Sandy Alcantara in the sixth inning. Sierra doesn't offer much from a fantasy perspective other than his speed, however, and even if an injury hit the Marlins' starting outfield, Lewis Brinson would be the more likely candidate to step in.

Waiting game for Marlins as heralded young hitters struggle

While the Miami Marlins farm system rebuilt under CEO Derek Jeter brims with young talent, it has yet to produce a hitter who busts out in the majors

MARCH 3, 2021 • Associated Press

Likely to win bench role Sierra, who is out of minor-league options, is expected to claim a spot on the big-league roster to begin the season, Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald reports.

Impact The Marlins were pleased with Sierra's progress last season, and the 24-year-old would provide a left-handed bat off the bench behind a starting outfield that features two right-handed hitters in Starling Marte and Adam Duvall. Sierra likely won't see enough playing time to have value in most fantasy formats, but his wheels (95th percentile sprint speed, and a 4-for-5 showing on steal attempts in 2020) could make him useful in deep NL-only leagues.

Draws second straight start Sierra will start in center field and will bat eighth Wednesday in Game 2 of the Marlins' divisional-round series with the Braves, Andre Fernandez of Sirius XM Radio reports.

Impact Sierra was also in the lineup Tuesday in Game 1, going 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored. The 24-year-old should continue to serve as the Marlins' primary center fielder throughout the NLDS with Starling Marte (hand) unavailable.

AUGUST 26, 2020 • MLB.COM

Officially lands on IL Sierra was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a strained right hamstring.

Impact This was expected. The move is retroactive to Monday, making Sierra eligible to return Sept. 3 should he prove ready. In 15 games prior to landing on the shelf, Sierra hit .278/.372/.417 with eight runs scored, seven RBI and four stolen bases. Brandon Leibrandt was summoned to the majors in a corresponding move, while Jon Berti and Lewis Brinson are candidates to cover center field in Sierra's absence.

Headed for IL Sierra is headed to the injured list with an unspecified injury, Craig Mish of Sports Grid reports.

Impact This explains why Sierra has been absent since Sunday. Mish says manager Don Mattingly will address the nature of Sierra's injury later Wednesday. The IL move is not yet official, and it is unclear if this is a physical injury or something COVID-19 related.

Remains out Monday Sierra isn't in the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Sierra will play a bench role for the second straight game after going 1-for-2 with one run as a pinch hitter Sunday. Jon Berti will take over as the center fielder and lead off Monday.

Not starting Sunday Sierra is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 24-year-old started both ends of Saturday's twin bill and will return to the bench after going 1-for-7 with a double and a run. Sierra has a .265/.366/.412 slash line with four stolen bases through 14 games. Corey Dickerson, Lewis Brinson and Jesus Sanchez will start in the outfield from left to right Sunday.

AUGUST 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes fourth bag Sierra got the start in right field and hit eighth Tuesday, going 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base.

Impact The 24-year-old has been earning fairly consistent playing time lately, seeing action at all three outfield spots and pushing his slash line on the year to .333/.452/.500 through 32 plate appearances with four steals in five attempts, plus six runs and seven RBI. Sierra offers little power -- he made his debut with St. Louis back in 2017 and is still looking for his first big-league homer -- but his speed and willingness to take a walk (5:4 BB:K) could get him looks at the top of manager Don Mattingly's batting order if he keeps producing.

AUGUST 19, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Steals base in win Sierra went 1-for-2 with an RBI, a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in a 8-2 win over the Braves on Friday.

Impact Sierra is slashing .313/.455/.563 this season, so it's surprising that the Marlins continue to place him at the bottom of the order. The 24-year-old's role is likely to decrease once the team gets a chunk of its guys back from the COVID-19 injured list.
