The back-of-roster moves have continued this week for the New York Yankees<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They just claimed Mike Siani off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> in the final 10 days of January.<\/p>\n

But on Tuesday, Siani was claimed back by the Dodgers, according to the Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Yankees allowed this to happen. Not long after claiming Siani off waivers, they designated him for assignment, which placed him back on waivers.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers, apparently having maneuvered their 40-man roster in a more favorable direction since initially losing Siani, decided they wanted the outfielder back.<\/p>\n

The Yankees had actually DFA’d two players in their most recent move, but Marco Luciano passed through waivers unclaimed and has been assigned to Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre.<\/p>\n

Siani is a 26-year old who hits and bats lefty and can play centerfield.<\/p>\n

He played for the Cardinals in 19 games in 2025, batting .235.<\/p>\n

This is the way things go this time of year for a player like Siani. Teams DFA edge-of-roster players in the hopes of getting them through waivers unclaimed. They don’t want them on the 40-man roster on Opening Day, but they’d like to have them around in Triple-A.<\/p>\n

But with useful players like Siani, multiple clubs are often interested in doing the same thing. So they do this back and forth until a guy finally makes it through waivers for good.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, there’s a chance Siani stays on the move for the next month or so. He’s used to it.<\/p>\n
