Mets Designate Jose Siri for Assignment as Tyrone Taylor Returns

The move reflects the Mets’ push for roster flexibility during a razor-thin Wild Card race.

Overview

  • New York cleared a roster spot for Taylor’s activation before Wednesday’s game in Chicago by placing Siri on waivers.
  • Siri appeared in 16 games after a fractured left tibia in April and hit .063/.167/.125 in 36 plate appearances.
  • Cedric Mullins’ left-handed bat remains in the mix, with the club opting to keep Taylor for his defense and control through 2026.
  • Siri, 30, was acquired from the Rays for Eric Orze last offseason and is under team control for two more seasons on a non-guaranteed deal.
  • Given the late timing and minor-league calendar, a claiming club would not be able to add Siri to its postseason roster.
