Siri elected free agency Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Siri passed through waivers unclaimed after being DFA'd by the Mets last Wednesday, and he'll now enter the open market to begin the offseason. The 30-year-old missed most of the 2025 season with a fractured left tibia and went just 2-for-32 (.063) in the big leagues when healthy.

Mets' Jose Siri: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
The Mets designated Siri for assignment Wednesday.
Siri is 1-for-12 with nine strikeouts since returning from a nearly five-month stay on the injured list and has managed just two hits in 36 plate appearances this season. His roster spot will be claimed by Tyrone Taylor (hamstring), who has been activated from the 10-day injured list.

Mets' Jose Siri: Starting up rehab at Single-A
Rotowire
Siri (tibia) is expected to report to Single-A St. Lucie on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.
Siri has been on the shelf since April 17 due to a fractured left tibia, but he's finally gearing up for a return. With the Mets having acquired Cedric Mullins at the trade deadline to serve as their primary center fielder and with the Tyrone Taylor still available to fill in for Mullins against left-handed pitching, the Mets likely won't be in much of a rush to bring the right-handed-hitting Siri back from the 60-day injured list.

Mets' Jose Siri: Moved to 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Mets transferred Siri (tibia) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.
The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for outfielder Travis Jankowski, but it doesn't alter Siri's timeline for a return since he has already been on the shelf for more than 60 days. He remains shut down from baseball activities after suffering a setback recently with his fractured left tibia.

Mets' Jose Siri: Ahead of schedule in recovery
Rotowire
Siri is progressing more quickly than expected in his recovery from a fractured tibia and has already resumed baseball activities, Tim Britton of the Athletic reports.
The Mets don't have a set date for Siri to begin a rehab assignment, but the 29-year-old outfielder was able to do some light jogging Monday and could beat the estimated 8-to-10-week timeline he was originally given for his return when he suffered the injury in mid-April. In his absence, Tyrone Taylor has received the bulk of the starts in center field, with Jeff McNeil also getting some occasional opportunities at the position.

Mets' Jose Siri: Finally placed on injured list
Rotowire
The Mets placed Siri on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left tibia fracture.
Siri was diagnosed with the injury Monday, but the Mets held off on making the IL move official so that they could play roster games with their bullpen. There's no timetable for his return, but expect the veteran outfielder to be shelved for more than a month. Tyrone Taylor will be the club's primary center fielder while Siri is out.

Mets' Jose Siri: Timeline for return still uncertain
Rotowire
Siri (tibia) has yet to officially be placed on the 10-day injured list, but Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that the outfielder will put little-to-no weight on his broken left leg for 10 days and is "probably three weeks" away from being ready for baseball activities, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Mendoza didn't offer up a firm timeline for Siri to potentially resume playing in games, but because the 29-year-old is expected to be held out from baseball activity until around early-to-mid May and will need some time after that to ramp up, an early June return may be a best-case scenario. The Mets have yet to deactivate Siri, but that has more to do with roster management as the team navigates some uncertainty with its pitching staff after right-hander Griffin Canning (illness) was scratched from his scheduled start Wednesday against the Twins and is considered day-to-day. The Mets recalled a fresh arm from the minors (Justin Hagenman) to eat innings out of the bullpen Wednesday and optioned reliever Max Kranick to Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move, but New York could place Siri on the IL on Thursday to allow Kranick to rejoin the active roster ahead of a four-game series with the Cardinals.

Mets' Jose Siri: Undergoing MRI, CT scan
Rotowire
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Monday that Siri (shin) is still "pretty sore" and will undergo an MRI and CT scan, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Siri fouled a ball off his left shin Saturday against the Athletics and had to be carted off the field. He will go through tests to determine the extent of the damage and the Mets will decide after those results are in whether Siri needs to go on the 10-day injured list. Tyrone Taylor is in center field again for the Mets on Monday versus the Twins.

Mets' Jose Siri: Could be placed on IL
Rotowire
Siri could be placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left shin contusion, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Siri had to be carted off the field after fouling a ball off his left leg Saturday against the Athletics. Initial tests didn't reveal any structural damage, but the 29-year-old outfielder is still using crutches and is in pain. Siri will continue to undergo testing, and if a stint on the IL is warranted, the Mets will look to Triple-A Syracuse for outfield depth.

Mets' Jose Siri: Not in Sunday's lineup
Rotowire
Siri (shin) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Siri suffered a left shin contusion in Saturday's 3-1 loss after fouling a ball of his leg. He's considered day-to-day for the time being, though manager Carlos Mendoza said prior to Sunday's contest that Siri could be a candidate for the injured list as soon as Monday if he hasn't made much meaningful progress in his recovery by that point, per Tim Healey of Newsday. Tyrone Taylor will pick up the start in center field Sunday while Siri sits.

Mets' Jose Siri: Exits game due to leg injury
Rotowire
Siri left in the second inning of Saturday's game against the Athletics due to a lower left leg injury, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Siri fouled a ball off his lower left leg, and after staying on the ground for a couple of minutes, he was helped onto a golf cart by trainers and taken off the field. He'll undergo further testing in the clubhouse, and an update on his injury should be made later during or after the conclusion of Saturday's contest. Tyrone Taylor has taken over in center field following Siri's exit.

Mets' Jose Siri: Exiting lineup Monday
Rotowire
Siri is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
Siri had started in six of the past seven games, but he'll give way to Tyrone Taylor in center field in the series opener. Though he's dominated the playing time in center thus far, Siri's hold on the job may be tenuous, given that he's recorded just one hit in 17 at-bats on the season.

Siri is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Astros.

Mets' Jose Siri: Hot start to spring continues
Rotowire
Siri went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox.
He launched his third homer of the spring in the third inning, lofting a Liam Hendriks pitch just inside the foul pole down the left-field line. Siri's long balls are his only hits through 14 plate appearances so far, but he's also stolen a base and posted a 3:3 BB:K. The 29-year-old will be competing for playing time in center field with Tyrone Taylor once the regular season begins.

Mets' Jose Siri: Heading to National League
Rotowire
Siri was traded from the Rays to the Mets on Tuesday in exchange for Eric Orze, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Siri is eligible for arbitration and the Rays may have been on the fence about paying him coming off of a year where he hit .187 with a 37.9 percent strikeout rate. He turned 29 in July and was worth 2.6 fWAR as recently as 2023, so the Mets will bring him in to potentially take over center field duties with Harrison Bader a free agent.

Siri is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox.
Siri hit a home run and drove in four runs in Tuesday's win over Boston, but he nonetheless finds himself on the bench a day later. Jonny DeLuca will patrol center field for Tampa Bay on Wednesday.
