Siani went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Siani continues to hit well in May -- he's 11-for-27 (.407) over 11 contests this month. The center fielder has added two of his four steals, but he's not adding much in the way of power with just one extra-base hit during the month. Overall, Siani is slashing .242/.306/.288 with two RBI, 12 runs scored and no home runs through 77 plate appearances.

Siani went 2-for-4 with a double, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Siani has slipped into a part-time role since Dylan Carlson returned from a shoulder injury. It appears to have lit a spark in Siani's game -- he's 10-for-21 (.476) over nine games in May. The outfielder is at a .250/.318/.300 slash line with three steals, two RBI, 12 runs scored, one double and one triple through 71 plate appearances this season. The 24-year-old's defense is his best attribute, but none of the Cardinals' outfielders have hit particularly well, so he could gain more playing time if his bat stays warm.

Siani is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dating back to April 20, Siani had started in all but one of the Cardinals' last 13 games, but his run as an everyday player has likely come to an end with Dylan Carlson (shoulder) returning from the 10-day injured list Sunday. Carlson will start in center field in his first game back from the shelf and should immediately settle into a full-time role.

Siani is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader in Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
He had started eight straight games in center field after Victor Scott was sent down but will yield to Lars Nootbaar for this one. Siani will likely be back in center field for the second game Tuesday.

Siani went 0-for-3 with one RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 4-2 extra-innings loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Siani is hitless over his last six games (0-for-17) while drawing two walks and striking out six times in that span. For now, he's the Cardinals' starting center fielder, but he's in the lineup mostly for his defense while Dylan Carlson (shoulder) and Tommy Edman (wrist) are on the mend. Siani is slashing just .108/.233/.162 with no home runs, one RBI, nine runs scored and two stolen bases this season.

Siani went 1-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Siani is gaining playing time in center field, and that should continue with Victor Scott being reassigned to Triple-A Memphis on Sunday. Siani has three hits and two walks over his last two contests, but he hadn't shown much with the bat before that. The outfielder is batting .200 with a triple, no RBI, seven runs scored and a 3:6 BB:K over 27 plate appearances this season. Siani is likely a placeholder in center field until one of Dylan Carlson (shoulder) or Tommy Edman (wrist) is cleared to play.

Siani will start in center field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game versus the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Siani has now occupied center field for two straight games and in three of the last four tilts as he subs in for the struggling Victor Scott. Siani has done very little at the plate in going 1-for-13 in his limited chances, but he's made a favorable impression with his defense.

Siani will be on the Cardinals' Opening Day roster, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Siani put together a solid spring, slashing .306/.432/.389 with nine runs scored across 44 plate appearances, and injuries to Lars Nootbaar (ribs) and Tommy Edman (wrist) likely played a factor when deciding to keep Siani on the roster for Opening Day. Siani will most likely come off the bench while he's with St. Louis, and he will likely head to Triple-A Memphis once Nootbaar or Edman return from the IL.

Siani could get a longer look as a depth outfielder with Tommy Edman (wrist) and Lars Nootbaar (ribs) questionable for Opening Day, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Siani is unlikely to win a starting job, but he could make his way onto the roster as a fourth or fifth outfielder if both of Edman and Nootbaar required injured list stints. Over his first 10 Grapefruit League games, Siani has gone 2-for-12 with five walks, one stolen base, two runs scored and two strikeouts. He has gone 4-for-29 over 17 career major-league games between the Cardinals and the Reds in the last two seasons.

The Cardinals recalled Siani from Triple-A Memphis on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Siani was claimed off waivers from the Reds earlier this month and will provide depth off the bench down the stretch for St. Louis. The 24-year-old outfielder has gone 4-for-24 (.167) in 12 total major-league games dating back to his debut with Cincinnati last September.
