Siani played in just one game while up on the major-league roster and had a .551 OPS in 19 games for St. Louis last season.

Clears waivers Siani cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The 26-year-old has struggled since joining the Orioles organization, slashing just .125/.232/.229 across 58 plate appearances at Norfolk.
