Michael Siani

Michael Siani played a key role in the Cardinals' 6-3 win against the Orioles, delivering a solid performance at the plate.

Fantasy Impact

He went 2-for-4 with a home run, one run scored, four RBI, and a stolen base. This game marks a significant uptick for Siani, who has struggled to make an impact this season, batting just .238 with relatively low power numbers. His performance in this game, particularly the clutch home run and multiple RBI, could signal a turning point for fantasy managers looking for potential sleepers. Siani's ability to mix power with speed, as shown by his stolen base, adds a valuable dimension to his fantasy appeal. If he can maintain this momentum, he might be worth a speculative add for managers in need of outfield depth.
