Heading back to Dodgers The Dodgers claimed Siani off waivers from the Yankees on Tuesday.

Impact Siani went from the Dodgers to the Yankees via waivers in January and is now headed back in the other direction. The slick-fielding center fielder is a career .221/.277/.270 hitter at the big-league level and will likely begin the season at Triple-A Oklahoma City, if he's still in the Dodgers organization at that point.

Impact The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Angel Chivilli, who was acquired via trade Wednesday.

The 26-year-old outfielder is now available again for other teams to claim.

Lands in Bronx The Yankees claimed Siani off waivers from the Dodgers on Friday.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 21 • DODGERBLUE.COM

Cut from 40-man roster The Dodgers designated Siani for assignment Wednesday.

Impact 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.

Scooped up by Dodgers The Dodgers claimed Siani off waivers from Atlanta on Friday.

Impact Siani has gone from the Cardinals to Atlanta and now to the Dodgers via waivers this offseason. The speedy outfielder is a terrific defensive center fielder but has slashed just .221/.277/.270 at the big-league level and spent most of the 2025 season in the minors. Siani has minor-league options remaining, and if he's still in the Dodgers organization on Opening Day, it will likely be at Triple-A Oklahoma City.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Designated for assignment Atlanta designated Siani for assignment Wednesday.

Impact Siani will end up as the odd man out of Atlanta's 40-man roster following the signing of Mike Yastrzemski on Wednesday. Siani slashed .209/.307/.329 with eight homers, 41 RBI, 64 runs scored and 28 stolen bases over 430 plate appearances with the Cardinals' Triple-A affiliate this past season.

DECEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Claimed by Atlanta Atlanta claimed Siani off waivers from the Cardinals on Thursday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact 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.

Back in minors The Cardinals optioned Siani to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.

Cards promote Granillo and Siani while sending Roycroft to Triple-A

The St. Louis Cardinals called up right-handed reliever Andre Granillo and outfielder Michael Siani from Triple-A Memphis, optioned right-handed pitcher Chris Roycroft to Memphis a...

JUNE 12, 2025 • Associated Press

Recalled from Triple-A The Cardinals recalled Siani from Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.

Impact Siani began the season on the Opening Day roster but was sent down in late April after playing sparingly. Victor Scott has struggled offensively since early May, but it still seems unlikely that Siani will be much of a threat to Scott's playing time.

JUNE 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Cardinals optioned Siani to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Siani has played sparingly behind starting center fielder Victor Scott, accruing only 17 plate appearances thus far. He'll play more regularly at Memphis as he waits for another opportunity with the big club.

APRIL 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Just four starts so far Siani went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Friday's loss to the Mets.

Impact Siani was making just his fourth start of the season, although he has appeared in a total of 15 games because he often enters as a pinch runner and/or defensive replacement. It came down to the wire between Siani and Victor Scott for the Cardinals' center field job out of spring training, but Scott won it and has been an everyday player, starting 18 of 20 tilts. Siani could get optioned to Triple-A Memphis when Masyn Winn (back) returns from the 10-day injured list Tuesday if the club wants added protection at shortstop with Thomas Saggese.

APRIL 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting season as reserve 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.

Impact 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.

MARCH 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Friday 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.

Impact 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 start at the position in Friday's split-squad games. Siani has gone 4-for-40 through 13 games in spring training, while Scott has torn the cover off the ball with a 1.133 OPS.
