The Los Angeles Dodgers’ 40-man roster is now full, as they claimed former Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Siani<\/a>, who was designated for assignment after free agent Mike Yastrzemski<\/a> was signed. It is unclear what role the 26-year-old will play in Los Angeles. However, the Dodgers have proven that they value defense and depth.<\/p>\n

Dodgers Add Michael Siani Off Waivers from Braves<\/h2>\n

Glove First?<\/h3>\n

Siani is known for his defense. What is not well-known is that this will be his fourth season in the majors. Before his time with the Braves, he spent time with the St. Louis Cardinals and the Cincinnati Reds. His plate appearances need work, as he has a low walk rate, and his strikeouts are sky-high. His batting average is below .200.<\/p>\n
