Jose Siri Fantasy Stats

New York Mets outfielder Jose Siri has been designated for assignment by the organization on Wednesday. Siri missed a majority of the season due to injury, but recently returned to the lineup. Since his return, Siri has gone 1-for-12 at the plate with nine strikeouts. They've decided to move on from the veteran outfielder, which seems odd given Siri only played in 16 games. In a corresponding move, outfielder Tyrone Taylor (hamstring) has been activated from the injured list. That means, Taylor will basically take over the role Siri was playing on the team. He figures to split up time with Cedric Mullins down the stretch of the season.

New York Mets outfielder Jose Siri (tibia) was activated from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday after completing a rehab assignment in the minors. The 30-year-old collected at least one hit in six of the eight games he played on the assignment, and was back in the lineup for the Mets on Tuesday night. The 6-foot-2 slugger went 1-for-4 out of the ninth spot in the order, with the lone hit being a double, and he also scored once. The right-handed hitter offers both pop and speed, blasting as many as 25 home runs in 101 games in 2023 for the Rays, and recording at least 12 stolen bases in each of the last three seasons despite playing in no more than 130 games in any of those seasons. The issue is that he strikes out a ton and will likely hurt fantasy managers in the batting average department, so he can be left on the waiver wire in most leagues.

New York Mets designated hitter Jesse Winker (back) and outfielder Jose Siri (leg) began rehab assignments at the Single-A level on Wednesday. There's potential for both players to return sometime in September. Winker has been on the IL with inflammation in his lower back since July 11, and he missed significant time earlier this season with an oblique strain. The injuries have limited him to 26 games and a .229/.300/.400 line with one home run and 10 RBI in 81 plate appearances. Without Winker, the Mets have mostly turned to Starling Marte and Mark Vientos at DH. Siri, meanwhile, fractured his left tibia just nine games into his season and has been on the shelf since April 17. The 30-year-old has never been an offensive threat (.207/.265/.403 in 1,210 plate appearances), but his speed and defense could help the Mets late in the season if he returns.

New York Mets outfielder Jose Siri (tibia) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment next week. The 30-year-old fouled a ball off his left shin back in April, fracturing his left tibia, limiting him to 10 games this season. Based on the amount of time he has missed, Siri is likely to need multiple rehab games before returning to the Mets' active roster. His role when he returns is murky at best, especially after Cedric Mullins was acquired at this year's trade deadline. Siri could still be utilized as a defensive replacement and a pinch runner late in games, as he stole two bases this year and averaged 13 steals over the past three seasons.

The New York Mets announced on Monday that they transferred outfielder Jose Siri (leg) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. The team also selected the contract of outfielder Travis Jankowski from Triple-A Syracuse after Sunday's game. Siri is dealing with a fractured left tibia and remains shut down from baseball activities, meaning he isn't particularly close to returning to the big-league roster. He won't be back before the mid-July All-Star break, and it's possible that his absence stretches into August. The 29-year-old Dominican outfielder had just one hit in 20 at-bats with an RBI, two steals and five runs scored before his injury. When Siri does return to the Mets, he's most likely to serve as a backup option and late-game defensive replacement in center field. Siri will be a bench option in NL-only leagues when he's fully healed.

The Athletic's Tim Britton writes that New York Mets outfielder Jose Siri (leg) suffered a setback, with the reimaging of his fractured tibia showing that it hasn't healed as much as the team had hoped. Siri has backed off his running and baseball activities and will be re-evaluated in around two weeks. President of baseball operations David Stearns said Siri is still "a ways away." The 29-year-old was originally given an eight- to 12-week timetable for a return after he broke his leg on April 12 against the Athletics. Now that he's had a setback, he is not going to be ready to rejoin the big-league roster until after the All-Star break and will still need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment. Siri's absence has led to more playing time for Tyrone Taylor in center field, but he's hit just .229/.295/.324 with a homer, 12 RBI, 18 runs scored and eight steals in 188 at-bats.

New York Mets outfielder Jose Siri (leg) still hasn't gotten to 100 percent in his running progression, according to The Athletic's Tim Britton. Manager Carlos Mendoza said that Siri wasn't all that close to returning last week. Siri continues to rehab from a fractured left tibia that he suffered on April 12. Although he's doing some running and was able to take batting practice last week, the 29-year-old's return from the injured list remains up in the air. When he does return to the big-league roster, he'll be in a part-time role in center field, at best, with Tyrone Taylor. The Dominican outfielder is more of a glove-first outfielder and had gone just 1-for-20 with an RBI and two stolen bases in his first 10 games for the Mets this year before getting injured.

New York Mets outfielder Jose Siri (leg) will face left-hander Sean Manaea (oblique) during a live batting practice session on Thursday, according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo. Siri is recovering from a fractured left tibia that has kept him out since April 12. He has more boxes to check off before being cleared for a minor-league rehab assignment, though, as he's currently limited to running in a straight line. It's good news that the 29-year-old is set to face live pitching, but his last hurdle will probably be to run the bases at full speed. Barring a setback with his leg, Siri could return to the Mets' big-league roster around the middle of June. Before his injury, Siri had gone only just 1-for-20 with an RBI, five runs and two stolen bases while losing playing time in center field to Tyrone Taylor. Siri won't be guaranteed anything more than a bench role in New York upon his return.

Tim Britton of The Athletic reports that New York Mets outfielder Jose Siri (leg) is progressing more quickly than expected from the broken bone he suffered earlier this season. Siri exited a game in early April when he fouled a ball off his shin. Initial x-rays came back negative, but after further testing, it was revealed he had fractured his tibia. The 29-year-old's early diagnosis had him back in eight to ten weeks from the time of the injury, but it looks like he has a chance to supersede that timetable. While there's no set date for him to begin a rehab assignment, it's undoubtedly excellent news. Teammate Tyrone Taylor has underwhelmed at the dish in his stead with a .234 batting average, but his xBA indicates he's underperforming (.266). Siri was able to do some light jogging in his return to the field.

New York Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said that outfielder Jose Siri's (leg) absence should be around eight to 10 weeks from the time of his injury, which makes it possible that he could return sometime in June. It's a more optimistic timeline that what The Athletic's Tim Britton had based on other players who fractured their tibias and typically required four to five months to return. With the 29-year-old sideline, Tyrone Taylor has been a regular in center field for the Mets but hasn't really taken advantage of the playing time, hitting just .178 (13-for-73) with no homers, three RBI, one steal and seven runs scored. Siri had been even worse to open up his first year in Queens with just one hit in 20 at-bats before fracturing his left tibia. When the Dominican outfielder returns in June, he's going to need to hit a lot better to steal playing time away from Taylor.
