Overview

  • The team announced the DFA of Jose Siri on Wednesday in a corresponding move to reinstate Tyrone Taylor from the injured list.
  • Siri fractured his left tibia on April 12, did not begin a rehab assignment until August, and was used sparingly after a September 9 activation.
  • He appeared in 16 games for New York this season and batted .063 over 36 plate appearances.
  • If claimed off waivers, Siri would be ineligible for a new club’s 2025 postseason roster under MLB rules.
  • Acquired from the Rays last November for pitcher Eric Orze, Siri remains arbitration-eligible after the season as Taylor returns from a recent hamstring injury.
