Michael Siani - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Signs with Tigers Siani signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Friday, Emily Waldon of Baseball America reports.

Impact Siani was released by the Orioles on Aug. 4 but will now receive an opportunity to carve out a role for himself in the Tigers organization. However, the 27-year-old outfielder has slashed just .178/.294/.256 across 214 plate appearances in Triple-A this year and isn't likely to offer anything more than organizational depth.

AUGUST 14 • ROTOWIRE

Cut loose by Baltimore The Orioles released Siani on Tuesday, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

Impact The 27-year-old outfielder was designated for assignment by Baltimore in late June but remained in the organization at Triple-A Norfolk, where he batted .118 (6-for-51) with a .27.6 percent strikeout rate after being DFA'd. 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.

AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Siani was DFA'd by the Orioles on Monday after spending just two days with the big club, and he'll now return to Triple-A without having the benefit of a 40-man roster spot. The 26-year-old has struggled since joining the Orioles organization, slashing just .125/.232/.229 across 58 plate appearances at Norfolk.

Removed from 40-man roster The Dodgers designated Siani for assignment Tuesday, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Impact The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Alek Thomas, who was acquired via trade Tuesday. Siani has spent all of the 2026 campaign at Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he's slashed .225/.355/.303 with no home runs, five steals and a 17:30 BB:K over 29 contests. The 26-year-old is a gifted defensive center fielder, so he could draw interest via waivers in spite of his offensive shortcomings.

MAY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A Siani was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.

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.
