Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Michael Siani, 26-year-old outfielder, was designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 12, 2026, to make room for acquired Alek Thomas. Siani spent the entire 2026 season at Triple-A Oklahoma City, posting a .225/.355/.303 slash line with no home runs over 29 contests (107 PA). He was subsequently claimed off waivers by the Baltimore Orioles on May 18 and optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. Siani has experienced a tumultuous offseason, bouncing between the Cardinals, Braves, Dodgers, and Yankees via multiple DFA and waiver claim transactions. Despite elite defensive metrics (16 outs above average, 99th percentile), his offensive production remains a significant concern.
