Sierra went 2-for-4 with a pair of stolen bases and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Tuesday marked Sierra's first start for the Angels, and he played center field while batting eighth. He was one of two Angels with multiple hits, and added some speed by twice stealing third base in the fifth and seventh innings. The 26-year-old outfielder racked up 22 steals in 76 contests with Triple-A Salt Lake, so his success on the basepaths shouldn't come as much surprise. He entered Tuesday as a .240 career hitter across 234 games, so it's fair to question if his batting will earn him much playing time while Mike Trout (ribs) is out.

Sierra had his contract selected by the Angels on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Sierra will make his way to the major-league roster for the first time this season, joining the Angels ahead of their series finale with Atlanta. The outfielder has produced a .297 average with seven homers, 45 RBI, 49 runs and 22 stolen bases over 279 at-bats in 76 games with Triple-A Salt Lake this season. Jonathan Villar was designated for assignment Sunday to open a roster spot for Sierra.

Sierra was reassigned to minor-league spring training Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Sierra served as a non-roster invitee for the Angels this year after appearing in 123 games for Miami in 2021, but he was unable to land a spot on the Opening Day roster. He went 3-for-16 with a double, a run, a walk and six strikeouts across 10 Cactus League games this spring.

Sierra has signed a minor-league contract with the Angels, Chris Kilburn-Trenkle of Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sierra spent the last four seasons with the Marlins and appeared in a career-high 123 games in 2021. He hit .230 with 27 runs, five RBI and 11 stolen bases and was cast off the 40-man roster in November. The 25-year-old should have a chance to compete for a big-league roster spot heading into the 2022 campaign.

Sierra was outrighted to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sierra saw inconsistent playing time with the major-league club in 2021 and will now lose his spot on the 40-man roster. Across 123 games with the Marlins last year, he hit .230 with 27 runs, five RBI and 11 stolen bases.

Sierra stole a base as a pinch runner in Wednesday's 8-6 win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old has mainly been confined to a bench role lately, but he's been able to record two stolen bases through nine games in September. Sierra has 11 steals through 209 plate appearances this year, but with no path to regular playing time at the moment, he's stuck in an inconsistent reserve role.

Sierra remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Sierra had already seen his opportunities take a hit in the past couple weeks with the Marlins exposing Jorge Alfaro to more work in left field, and Jesus Sanchez's return from the COVID-19 injured list Monday will make it even more tough for Sierra to crack Miami's lineup. He'll remain on the bench for the sixth time in seven games and looks like Miami's fourth or fifth outfielder at this point.

Sierra is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The outfielder struck out in a pinch hit appearance Friday and is now hitting .179 in 28 at-bats since the beginning of August. Lewis Brinson is playing center field and batting cleanup Saturday.

Sierra isn't starting Friday's game against the Cubs, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sierra went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs and a strikeout Tuesday, but he'll be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. Lewis Brinson will take over in center field while Jorge Alfaro starts in left.

Sierra isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Padres, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sierra has formed a platoon with Lewis Brinson in the outfield after Starling Marte was traded to Oakland at the end of August, and the 25-year-old will retreat to the bench with southpaw Ryan Weathers on the mound for the Padres on Wednesday. Brinson will take over in center field while Jorge Alfaro starts in left.
