Angels Call Up Jose Siri, Shift Ben Joyce to 60-Day IL

The move adds a healthy, low-cost outfield option during Josh Lowe's slump.

Overview

  • The Angels selected outfielder Jose Siri's contract on Saturday, transferred Ben Joyce to the 60-day injured list, and optioned Bryce Teodosio to Triple-A Salt Lake.
  • Siri was listed to bat ninth and start in left field against the Dodgers on Saturday night, signaling immediate use.
  • He slots in as a backup outfielder and could share left field with Josh Lowe, who is batting .167 with a .216 on-base percentage over 117 plate appearances.
  • After a broken left tibia derailed his 2025 with the Mets and a September DFA, Siri signed with the Angels on February 1 and hit .288 with five home runs at Triple-A Salt Lake.
  • The 60-day designation for Joyce opens a 40-man roster spot while he continues a long return from last year's labrum surgery.
