Dodgers snag 26-year old outfielder from Braves in newest roster move

The Los Angeles Dodgers have a new outfielder in their organization.

They claimed Michael Siani off waivers from the Atlanta Braves on Friday, according to The Athletic's Katie Woo.

Siani is a 26-year old, lefty swinging and lefty throwing centerfielder.

He was originally a fourth-round pick by the Cincinnati Reds in 2018 out of William Penn Charter School in Philadelphia.

Siani made his MLB debut with the Reds in 2022. 

He played 12 games for Cincinnati before being moved to the St. Louis Cardinals midway through the 2023 season.

Siani's most big league action came in 2024 for the Cardinals, when he played in 124 games, stole 20 bases and batted .228.

In 2025 with the Cardinals, Siani hit .235 in 19 games.

The Braves had already claimed Siani off waivers earlier this offseason, but as 40-man roster movement continues, they chose to designate him for assignment, which put him back on waivers, and allowed the Dodgers to claim him.

L.A., if it keeps Siani heading toward the season, likely views him as a potential defensive-minded option for centerfield off the bench, or organizational depth at Triple-A.

It's a chance for Siani, at least for the moment, to join the back-to-back World Series champions. He'll be hoping he gets a chance to prove what he can do.
