Siani went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and two stolen bases in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader split with Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
After going 1-for-3 with no other production in the matinee as the Cardinals lost 3-2 in 10 innings, Siani made a bigger impact in a victory during the nightcap. It's the second time this season he's swiped multiple bags in a game, and the 25-year-old center fielder has gone 12-for-15 on the basepaths in 89 games, but Siani otherwise isn't making much of an impact on offense -- he's slashing .230/.269/.305 with two homers, 14 RBI and 29 runs.

Siani (elbow) is batting ninth and playing center field Friday against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Siani was hit by a pitch in the elbow during the first game of a doubleheader Saturday and didn't play in the nightcap, or the Cardinals' final game before the All-Star break Sunday. He's good to go after the four days of rest, filling his usual spot in center field. Siani is slashing .227/.263/.304 across 214 plate appearances.

Siani (elbow) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Siani will get a chance to rest his bruised left elbow in the final game before the All-Star break after he injured it in the first contest of Saturday's doubleheader with Chicago. Lars Nootbaar will cover center field in Siani's stead Sunday.

Siani (elbow) is out of the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
Siani was hit in the elbow by a pitch in the first inning of Game 1 and removed in the fourth frame. The center fielder has been diagnosed with a left elbow contusion, but the Cardinals could opt to give Siani an extended break with All-Star festivities beginning Monday.

Siani departed the first game of Saturday's twin bill against the Cubs due to a left elbow contusion, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Siani was hit by a pitch on the left elbow with the bases loaded in the first inning and credited with an RBI. He stayed in the game for a few more frames before being removed in the fourth. It's worth noting that the Cardinals were up 10-1 at the time of his departure, so it's possible that Siani's exit was precautionary. The teams are playing a doubleheader Saturday, and it remains to be seen if Siani will be in the lineup for the nightcap.

Siani went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 6-0 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Siani has gone 5-for-15 with one RBI, three runs scored and three strikeouts over his last four games. A run of five straight opposing left-handed pitchers has taken a chunk out of his recent playing time, though Siani has started in three of those games while the switch hitting Dylan Carlson moved between center field and right field. For the year, Siani has a .233/.266/.312 slash line, two home runs, 10 steals, 13 RBI and 26 runs scored over 208 plate appearances.

Siani is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
With the Cardinals facing a left-hander (DJ Herz) for a fourth straight game, the lefty-hitting Siani will hit the bench for the second time during that stretch. The switch-hitting Dylan Carlson will spell Siani in center field.

Siani isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Thursday's game against the Reds, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
EDGE Analysis
Left-hander Andrew Abbott will take the mound Thursday for the Reds, so the lefty-hitting Siani will retreat to St. Louis' bench. Dylan Carlson will get the nod to start in center field instead, batting seventh.
