Jose Siri's Injury Leaves Tampa Bay Rays Searching for Outfield Depth
Rays Outfielder Suffers Hamstring Injury
The Tampa Bay Rays have been dealt a blow to their outfield depth, as Jose Siri is expected to miss significant time with a hamstring injury. Siri suffered the injury while running the bases in the Rays' 6-4 loss to the Guardians on Wednesday night. He was replaced in the game by Brett Phillips.
Depth Concerns
The Rays are already without Manuel Margot, who has been out since July 15th with a knee injury. Siri's injury leaves the Rays with just four healthy outfielders on their active roster. This could force the Rays to make a move for an outfielder before the trade deadline on August 2nd.
Siri's Production
Siri has been a valuable contributor for the Rays this season. He is batting .280 with an on-base percentage of .341 and an OPS of .781. Siri has also stolen 13 bases in 68 games.
Outlook
The Rays are hoping that Siri's injury is not long-term. However, even if he is able to return soon, the Rays will still need to add some outfield depth. The Rays are currently in a tight race for the AL East title, and they cannot afford to have any more injuries to their key players.
