The Dodgers claimed outfielder Michael Siani off waivers from the Braves, adding a young, defensive-minded hitter with speed.

The Los Angeles Dodgers claimed outfielder Michael Siani off waivers from the Atlanta Braves, adding a 26-year-old left-handed hitter with defensive value and base-stealing ability to their 40-man roster. Siani, who has played parts of four seasons with the Reds and Cardinals, offers center field experience, defensive metrics above average for his position, and 21 stolen bases in 26 attempts. He has less than two years of service time, making him non-arbitration eligible, and will likely serve as a defensive replacement, pinch-runner, or bench depth. The Dodgers now have 39 players on their 40-man roster, pending the finalization of Edwin Díaz’s signing.
