Jose

Siri

Before missing two games, Siri started seven games in a row in center with Mike Trout down. Now, though, he has Josh Lowe to contend with, which figures to mean less playing time against righties. Lowe, who was called up when Siri went on the paternity list, is making a third straight start tonight, and Siri will be available off the bench.

Congrats to Jose and his growing family. The 30-year-old is hitting .290/.351/.507 in 32 games this season with four home runs and 16 RBI. He will likely return at some point over this weekend.

Siri started playing regualrly for the Angels after being called up halfway through May, but has been a fixture in the starting lineup in June. This month, he’s gone 13-for-46 (.283) with three home runs, 14 RBI, one steal, and an 11/4 K/BB ratio. Siri has always had some contact issues and is still sporting a nearly 19 percent swinging strike rate; however, he is swinging far more than his career norm this season, which is giving him more chances to make contact. His bat speed is up a bit this season, and his launch angle is less drastic than we saw last year. He’s also using the middle of the field more than he has in previous seasons. It’s a small sample size, but he could be worth a gamble in deeper formats since he’s playing regularly.

Soler’s hip irritation has morphed into a more concerning injury. The Angels will likely rotate DHs in his absence, with Mike Trout and Jo Adell both likely to see some time there. That would open up outfield starts for Jose Siri.

Siri is 7-for-23 with two homers and two doubles since his callup. He’s starting primarily against lefties, so there’s no fantasy value to be had here. However, he is the Angels’ best defensive outfielder, which might pay off if he remains somewhat productive.

It appears to be nothing more than a routine evening off for the 34-year-old slugger. Mike Trout will serve as the designated hitter in his absence while Jose Siri will start in center field and bat ninth for the Halos against Rays’ right-hander Nick Martinez.

Siri, 30, will join the Angels after hitting .288/.353/.504 with five homers in his 140 plate appearances with the Bees. The outfielder will take the roster spot of Bryce Teodosio, with Teodosio heading to Salt Lake in the corresponding move.

Siri, 30, could’ve competed for a bench spot on the team’s Opening Day roster with a strong showing during Cactus League play, but he hit just .194 (7-for-36) with one RBI, one stolen base and a 12/1 K/BB ratio. He’ll begin the season as extra outfield depth at the Triple-A level.

After a pair of productive seasons with the Rays, Siri had a rough 2025 campaign with the Mets, slashing .063/.167/.125 with zero homers, one RBI and a 17/4 K/BB ratio in 36 plate appearances and missing several months with a fractured tibia. If he finds his way into regular playing time with the Angels, his intriguing blend of power and speed makes him an interesting late-round option from a fantasy perspective.
