Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri and infielder Taylor Walls will both start Thursday's game against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field on the bench. Jonny DeLuca will start in center field and bat eighth for the Rays, with Jose Caballero starting at shortstop and hitting sixth against Guardians right-hander Gavin Williams. DeLuca is hitless in two career at-bats against Williams, while Caballero is hitless in his only at-bat against Williams. Siri could see more time on the bench moving forward if he can't break out of his recent slump soon. The 29-year-old Dominican is hitting .184 (69-for-374) on the year and is 1-for-24 (.042) with two walks and 11 K's in eight games in September. Walls has played in only 72 games this year due to injuries and is hitting a similarly weak .179/.287/.242 with a homer, 13 RBI and 14 stolen bases.

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman/outfielder Christopher Morel, second baseman Brandon Lowe and outfielder Jose Siri are all heading to the bench on Friday versus the division-rival Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Dean Kremer at Camden Yards. Dylan Carlson is starting in left field and batting cleanup, Jose Caballero is at second base and batting seventh, and Jonny DeLuca is in center field and is in the six-hole against Kremer, who is making his first start off the injured list. Morel has struggled in his short time with Tampa since being acquired from the Cubs at the trade deadline, hitting .191 (22-for-115) with three homers, five RBI and 42 strikeouts in 31 games. Carlson has hit just .208 (16-for-77) in 25 games since joining the Rays at the trade deadline, but all three of his homers have come in Tampa. He'll be a deep DFS sleeper in the cleanup spot for the Rays on Friday.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielders Jose Siri and Jonny DeLuca are out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Oakland Athletics at Oakland Coliseum. Rookie Kameron Misner will play center field and hit eighth, while Dylan Carlson will draw into the lineup in left field and bat third against A's right-hander Osvaldo Bido. Siri will get a day of rest after going deep in each of his last two games. The 29-year-old Dominican is up to 16 home runs in his second full season in Tampa but is batting a dreadful .199/.270/.386 with a .656 OPS, 41 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 136 strikeouts in 106 games played. Carlson was struggling with injuries with the Cardinals before being acquired by Tampa at the trade deadline. The 25-year-old switch-hitter has only three home runs and 20 RBI on the year in 166 at-bats. Misner is still searching for his first big-league hit after fanning eight times in his first 11 trips to the plate.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri homered in his second straight game in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Athletics, belting a 423-foot shot for his 16th home run of the season in a 2-for-4 day at the plate. Unfortunately, Siri's above-average chase rate of 32.9% and well-below-average 62.2% contact rate leads to a 36.4% K% and bouts of ineffectiveness, so this two-game home run streak comes on the heels of an 0-for-19 stretch for the 29-year-old. He now has a .199-16-41-42-12 line on the season with a .285 wOBA and 88 wRC+, but despite contributing somewhat across categories, the Dominican is hard to rely on for fantasy and will likely crush your batting average if you do.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri will take a seat again on Saturday afternoon as the Rays continue a three-game set against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This is the third time in the past four games that the 29-year-old has been kept out of the starting nine. Since the start of August, Siri has carried a .188/.257/.219 line with no home runs and just two stolen bases, As a result, Jonny DeLuca will get the starting nod at center field this afternoon and will bat in the seven-hole. Overall, Siri has showcased his upside for power and speed but has never been able to show it on a consistent basis. While DeLuca holds an underwhelming .171 AVG this month, he has begun to be a regular in the Tampa starting nine. He is best to fade this afternoon in DFS as he will face Arizona ace, Zac Gallen.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri bat-dropped and admired two solo home runs and pitched in a walk Friday night in a 3-1 win over the Washington Nationals. The pair of home runs puts Siri at 11 on the season to go along with 29 RBI. In his last four games, Siri has raised his batting average from .206 to .219. Still, due to his lack of consistency in the batting average department and his low OBP skills, he's provided no stolen bases despite being capable of stealing many bases with his athleticism. He remains a deep league injury replacement at best unless his hot streak continues over a longer period.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri went 2-for-3 with a homer, a walk, two runs, and an RBI in a 6-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. Siri hit a solo shot off Baltimore starter Cole Irvin in the second inning, a blast that traveled 400 feet and had an exit velocity of 105.1 MPH. The 28-year-old Siri is now hitting just .197 with six homers, 21 runs, 22 RBI, and seven steals across 152 at-bats in 2024. Despite his overall poor numbers, Siri has been swinging a hot bat of late, hitting .292 with three homers over his past seven games. Siri will look to stay hot as his team's weekend series against the O's continues on Saturday.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri is having a series to remember against the Oakland Athletics. The 28-year-old was the hero in Wednesday's win and he brought more theatrics to the park on Thursday. Siri was 2-for-5 with two solo home runs, including a game-tying shot in the ninth inning off of Mason Miller. While the spike in production is nice, Siri is slashing an unsightly .188/.276/.338 this season with a 12:55 BB:K. He does have five home runs and seven steals across 45 games, but he is on base too infrequently to really take advantage of his speed. Siri is probably best left on the waiver wire in the majority of leagues.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri played the role of hero in Wednesday's victory over the visiting Oakland Athletics, ripping a single to left to walk it off in the bottom of the ninth inning. It was a banner evening out of Siri, who also robbed a home run from A's second baseman Zack Gelof in the top of the ninth before delivering the game-winning knock for the Rays. The speedy 28-year-old center fielder has taken a step back following his breakout 2023 campaign, slashing a paltry .180/.272/.289 with three long balls, 15 RBI, 16 runs scored, and seven stolen bases over 128 at-bats (44 games) overall this season. Consistently batting ninth in Tampa Bay's lineup in a platoon for at-bats, Siri isn't worth rostering outside of deep AL-only fantasy leagues at the moment.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri is being rested on Friday in Toronto as the club takes on the Blue Jays. Jonny DeLuca will get back into the starting lineup in center field and will bat ninth against Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt. Siri had started in five of the team's last seven games after a short stretch where DeLuca was pretty much starting every day. The 28-year-old Siri hasn't done much offensively for the Rays this year, going 19-for-109 (.174) with three home runs, 13 RBI and six stolen bases, so he could continue to lose playing time to DeLuca in center field. Meanwhile, DeLuca has hit a much better .281 (9-for-32) with a home run, 10 RBI and two stolen bases. The 25-year-old former Dodger won't have much DFS appeal out of the nine-hole for Friday's action, though.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri is on the bench again on Friday for the Rays for the start of a series against the visiting division-rival New York Yankees. It's the third time in the last four games that Siri has been on the bench, and he's been losing playing time to Jonny DeLuca, who is in center field and batting sixth on Friday against Yankees right-hander Clarke Schmidt. It hasn't helped Siri's cause that he's slashing just .170/.255/.277 with two home runs, seven RBI, six stolen bases and 11 runs scored in his first 94 at-bats this year. The return of Josh Lowe to Tampa's outfield recently has been another factor working against Siri as the 28-year-old continues to lose playing time. DeLuca's fantasy stock is rising, meanwhile, as he's gone 7-for-20 (.350) with a homer, 10 RBI and two steals in his first six games with the team in 2024.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri is not in the team's starting lineup on Monday as they take on the visiting Chicago White Sox. Siri went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in the last two games over the weekend to drop his season line to .176/.262/.286 in his first 91 at-bats of the year. The 28-year-old Dominican outfielder has added two home runs, seven RBI, six stolen bases and 11 runs scored in 31 games played. Siri hasn't played great defense either so far this year, so if he continues to struggle offensively, he could find himself on the bench more often now that Josh Low (oblique) is back from the injured list. Jonny DeLuca is starting in center field and is batting in the nine-hole for the Rays in the series opener against the White Sox and right-hander Mike Clevinger, who is making his season debut.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri has been hit with a three-game suspension from Major League Baseball for his role in Tuesday night's benches-clearing incident with the Milwaukee Brewers. Siri will appeal his suspension, but he's out of Wednesday's lineup anyway due to some minor soreness in his left thigh as a result of getting hit by a pitch on Tuesday. The 28-year-old was intentionally hit by a pitch from right-hander Freddy Peralta in the sixth inning before getting in a dust-up with reliever Abner Uribe in the eighth inning after he grounded out. Uribe threw the first punch before Siri retaliated. After a scheduled off day for the Rays on Thursday, Siri should return to the starting lineup on Friday for the series opener against the New York Mets while his appeal is heard.

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that outfielder Jose Siri (thigh) is out of Wednesday's starting lineup due to soreness in his left thigh that stems from him being hit by a pitch in Tuesday's game. It was an eventful day for Siri on Tuesday, as he hit his second home run of the season and was also ejected after throwing blows with Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Abner Uribe in a benches-clearing incident. Fantasy managers should expect the 28-year-old to be handed down a suspension of at least a couple games in the near future. Despite going 1-for-2 with the home run on Tuesday, Siri is hitting just .186 (16-for-86) on the year with seven RBI and six stolen bases through the first month of the year. Randy Arozarena is in center field and batting third, while Niko Goodrum is in left and hitting sixth on Wednesday against Brewers right-hander Colin Rea.

Tuesday was an eventful day for Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri in an 8-2 loss to the Brewers. Siri went 1-for-2 with a solo home run but was ejected in the eighth inning for getting into a fight with Abner Uribe. Siri was hit earlier in the game and had words with Uribe after grounding out to first. The 28-year-old has had a disappointing season, slashing .186/.276/.302 with two HR, 11 runs scored, even RBI, and six stolen bases in nine attempts. Fantasy managers should watch for more news on potential suspensions in the coming days.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri was removed from Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox in the third inning due to lack of hustle. According to Rays manager Kevin Cash, Siri was pulled out of the game because he disliked how he went after an Eloy Jimenez double in the second inning. Niko Goodrum replaced him for defense in the third inning. Siri went 0-for-1 with a strikeout before being removed. Cash also said he considers the issue over, with no carryover. Siri could be back in the lineup in the series finale. The 28-year-old struggled this season, slashing .179/.270/.269 with a home run, six RBI, nine runs, and six stolen bases over 26 games. Siri is mainly an option in deep leagues until he can turn things around at the plate.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri (kidneys) is back in center field and is hitting eighth on Monday against the visiting Detroit Tigers and left-hander Tarik Skubal after missing two of the three games over the weekend due to kidney stones. It's good to see the 28-year-old back in action, but his low spot in Tampa's batting order and his slow start to the year make him a tough sell in DFS lineups in a touch matchup against Skubal. Siri has gone 1-for-23 with 12 strikeouts in his last seven games and is hitting .188 (13-for-69) with a home run, five RBI and six stolen bases in his first 22 games played in 2024. On top of it, Siri has gone hitless in his first four career at-bats against Skubal.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri is considered day-to-day after missing Sunday's game due to kidney stones. Siri was at the hospital on Sunday getting treatment, so he was unable to play in the Rays game against the New York Yankees. Siri got off to a pretty good start to the season, but he is now mired in an 0-for-15 slump during which he has struck out 10 times. Outside of stolen bases and the occasional homer, Siri doesn't provide much value to fantasy managers and can be safely left on waivers outside of deep leagues.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri went 1-for-2 with two RBI versus the Philadelphia Phillies in Thursdays Grapefruit League contest. Siri is now hitting .154 with one homer, five RBI and two stolen bases in his first 13 spring at-bats. Siri had his first breakthrough season in the big leagues in 2023 with a .222 average to go along with 25 homers, 56 RBI and 12 stolen bases in just 338 at-bats. With Manuel Margot out of the picture, Siri should see more at-bats in the upcoming season. Although he was streaky last season, the power and speed combination at an ADP of 258 is hard to come by. The Rays seemingly get the best out of their talent every year and Siri is worth a strong look in mixed leagues and five outfielder leagues with potential to help in multiple categories at a cheap cost.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri finds himself on the bench for Game 2 of the wild-card series against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday. Josh Lowe enters the starting lineup in right field and will bat cleanup against Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi, while Manuel Margot is patrolling center field and batting in the six-hole. Siri is coming off a fractured hand that put him on the injured list in September, and he was 0-for-3 in the Game 1 loss to Texas on Tuesday. Margot has two singles and a strikeout in his seven career at-bats against Eovaldi. The 29-year-old Dominican provided very modest numbers for fantasy managers in 2023 with a .264 average (82-for-311) with just four home runs, 38 RBI, nine stolen bases and 39 runs scored.
