The Yankees claimed outfielder Michael Siani off waivers from the Dodgers and designated right-hander Kaleb Ort for assignment, adding Siani to their outfield depth while Ort faces waivers; Siani provides speed and defense with limited hitting, while Ort has high velocity but spotty big-league results.
The Dodgers designated outfielder Michael Siani for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot for Kyle Tucker, whose four-year contract was formally announced. Siani, a defensively strong, speed-driven fourth outfielder with limited hitting, has bounced among several NL clubs and now faces waivers or a possible trade within five days. He retains a minor league option, making him a potential depth bench option for a club that can shuttle him between Triple-A and the majors.
The Cincinnati Reds have called up outfielder Michael Siani from Triple-A Louisville to replace Stuart Fairchild, who is on the concussion injured list. Siani has had a mixed season, with a strong stretch from June to August but struggling in the past two weeks. Known for his speed and defense, Siani has stolen 22 bases this season. The move is notable as the Reds chose Siani over Nick Senzel, who can play both the outfield and infield.
