JOSE SIRI NEWS

Battling hamstring issue Siri is undergoing an MRI on Saturday due to soreness in his right hamstring, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Siri's absence from Saturday's lineup initially appeared to be a standard day off, but he's actually dealing with a hamstring injury. The 27-year-old should be considered day-to-day until the severity of the injury is determined.

Steps out of lineup Siri is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Siri has a six-game hit streak and a 1.015 OPS in 24 plate appearances to begin the season, but he'll receive his second day off of the campaign Saturday. Manuel Margot will shift to center field while Josh Lowe receives a start in right.

Pops second homer Siri went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 10-6 win over the Nationals.

Impact His second-inning blast off Chad Kuhl was one of four Tampa Bay homers on the night, and Siri's second in four games to kick off the season. The 27-year-old is also hitting .333 (5-for-15) with six RBI, four runs and a steal, but his 1:5 BB:K suggests the plate discipline issues that have kept him from turning his tools into consistent fantasy production still lurk below the surface.

Resting Monday Siri is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact After making three straight starts in the outfield and going 3-for-12 with a home run, a double, five RBI, two runs and a stolen base in the Rays' season-opening series sweep of the Tigers, Siri will get a well-deserved breather. Manuel Margot will fill in for Siri in center field.

Early production continues Siri went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Tigers.

Impact Siri contributed early in Saturday's victory over the Tigers with a two-RBI double in the second frame. He now has two extra-base hits across his first two games, though he's also struck out three times in eight at-bats. Siri's ability to make consistent contact will be a significant factor in his ability to produce this season, but he should have secure playing time thanks to his defensive ability in center field.

Starts season well Siri went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Thursday against the Tigers.

Impact Siri started in center field and hit ninth on Opening Day. He got his season off to a strong start by popping a solo home run in his first plate appearance to lead off the third frame. Siri did strike out in his other two plate appearances, and his ability to make consistent contact will ultimately have a significant impact on his ability to reach his upside as both a power hitter and stolen base contributor moving forward.

Confirmed starter in outfield Manager Kevin Cash has confirmed that Siri will be the Rays' starting center fielder to begin the 2023 season, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Siri split the 2022 season between the Astros and Rays, but he was far better with his current team. Across 178 plate appearances in Tampa Bay, he managed a .241/.292/.367 line to go along with four home runs and eight stolen bases. With Kevin Kiermaier's offseason departure, Siri will have the opportunity to step into the center field void.

Good to go Sunday Siri (illness) is batting leadoff and starting in center field for Sunday's spring game against the Red Sox, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact The 27-year-old was sent home with an illness Friday but was quickly able to rejoin the team. Siri had a .241/.292/.367 slash line in 56 games after being acquired by Tampa Bay last season, and he's poised to open 2023 as the club's primary center fielder.

Dealing with illness Siri was sent home early from camp Friday because of an illness, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters that it should only be a one-day thing, but Siri probably won't make his Grapefruit League debut until next week as to allow him a full recovery. The 27-year-old is slated to open the 2023 regular season as Tampa Bay's primary center fielder, and this doesn't appear to be a real setback.

Siri is a near-everyday player in the Rays' outfield and has hit .267 with a .340 on-base percentage across 17 games in September.
