Jose Siri DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Mets outfielder Jose Siri (leg) will miss extended time after tests on Monday showed he is dealing with a fractured left tibia, according to the New York Post's Mike Puma. Siri underwent an MRI exam and a CT scan on his shin after initial X-rays came back negative following a foul ball off his leg on Saturday. He has been unable to put weight on his leg and has been on crutches since. Although Siri doesn't think it's a serious fracture, he hasn't received a timetable for recovery. Tyrone Taylor had been splitting time in center field with Siri, so he stands to see the bulk of playing time now, although Luisangel Acuna could be a possibility in center. Siri has struggled offensively for most of his big-league career and was hitting just .050 in 24 plate appearances in his first season with the Mets before his injury. Taylor's stock in NL-only leagues is on the rise.

New York Mets outfielder Jose Siri (shin) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Athletics. Siri was carted off the field after fouling a ball off his left shin in the second inning. He underwent testing, which didn't appear to reveal anything too serious. That being said, Siri should be considered as day-to-day for now. The hope is that Siri can avoid a trip to the injured list, but the Mets should give another update on his status soon. Tyrone Taylor took over in center field on Saturday and figures to see more playing time if Siri is forced to miss some time.

New York Mets outfielder Jose Siri is starting again in center field and is batting ninth on Tuesday against the division-rival Miami Marlins and right-hander Sandy Alcantara at loanDepot Park. Siri has made the last three starts in center for the Mets after Tyrone Taylor opened the first two games of the season as the team's center fielder. In his first two games for the Mets early on, Siri has a double, RBI, stolen base, one walk and three strikeouts in seven plate appearances. Taylor also has only one hit with two strikeouts in nine plate appearances in his three games for the Mets. Expect the Mets to continue to mix and match in center field with both Siri and Taylor, limiting the fantasy appeal of both players to mainly NL-only leagues. Because of Siri's high whiff and strikeout rates, Taylor will probably be the safer fantasy bet offensively.

New York Mets outfielder Jose Siri has gone 3-for-10 with three long balls during his first taste of spring training with the Mets. He has tallied seven RBI and held a 3:3 BB:K. He has also swiped one bag. Earlier in the offseason, the Mets acquired Siri from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for Eric Orze. He then signed a one-year, $2.4 million contract to avoid arbitration. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his performance during spring training, as he could eventually claim the starting center field job over Tyrone Taylor. Last season, Siri went deep 18 times and stole 14 bags with a .187/.255/.366 slash line. He generated a strong 14.7 percent barrel rate but struck out at a hefty 37.9 percent rate. Taylor held a .248/.299/.401 line. If Siri were to win the job, he could have value in deeper category formats given his power and speed upside.

The New York Mets acquired outfielder Jose Siri from the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday in exchange for pitcher Eric Orze, according to a league source. Siri could see a considerable amount of playing time next year for the Mets with Harrison Bader potentially leaving in free agency. However, the 29-year-old Dominican is going to need to pick it up offensively after hitting just .187/.255/.366 with a weak .620 OPS, 18 home runs, 47 RBI, a career-high-tying 14 stolen bases and 50 runs scored in 130 games played (448 plate appearances). Siri struck out 37.9 percent of the time. His glove is probably his most attractive attribute, but he can also provide some modest speed in NL-only leagues. Orze is a 27-year-old reliever who had a 2.92 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and three saves in 61 2/3 innings for Triple-A Syracuse in 2024 before making his major-league debut (1 2/3 frames).
