Dodgers Claim Center Fielder Michael Siani Off Waivers From Braves

The move adds glove-first center-field depth with minor-league flexibility via one remaining option.

Overview

  • Los Angeles made the waiver claim Friday after Atlanta designated Siani for assignment to clear space following its Mike Yastrzemski signing.
  • Siani’s addition brings the Dodgers’ 40-man roster to 39 players, with the group expected to be full once the Edwin Díaz signing is finalized.
  • The 26-year-old lefty owns a .221/.277/.270 MLB line with two homers and 21 steals in 383 plate appearances, plus 12 Outs Above Average and six Defensive Runs Saved in center.
  • In 2025 with St. Louis, he appeared in 19 games with limited at-bats, frequently serving as a late-inning defensive replacement and pinch-runner.
  • A 2018 fourth-round pick by the Reds who debuted in 2022, Siani has one option year remaining and one year, 63 days of service time, offering roster flexibility.
