Tigers Sign Former Cardinals Outfielder
The St. Louis Cardinals have added to their depth, as they have signed outfielder Michael Siani to a minor league deal.
The Detroit Tigers have bolstered their outfield options as they progress through the playoffs by signing former Cardinals outfielder Michael Siani to a minor league contract. According to Baseball America's Emily Waldon, Siani was assigned to Triple-A Toledo following his release from the Baltimore Orioles in late June. Siani, who had just one plate appearance for the Orioles, batting a mere 0-for-1, spent the majority of the season in the minors, amassing one home run, 17 RBI, and a .167 batting average in 60 games.
Prior to his time with the Orioles, Siani played primarily with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2024, appearing in 124 games and posting a .228 batting average, two home runs, 20 RBI, and 20 stolen bases. Over his five-year MLB career, Siani has accumulated 76 hits, 21 stolen bases, and a .220 batting average in 161 games split between the Cincinnati Reds, Cardinals, and Orioles.
It remains to be seen if Siani will be called up to the Tigers' roster before the season concludes, potentially building upon these career statistics.
