Rotowire
Siri went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a stolen base Tuesday against the Royals.

Rays' Jose Siri: Homers twice in win
Rotowire
Siri went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in a 3-1 win over the Nationals on Friday.
Siri led off the second inning with a home run off Mitchell Parker, walked in the fourth and then opened the sixth with another long ball off Jacob Barnes. The outfielder now has eight multi-hit efforts and six home runs in June, though he has not stolen any bases in the month. On the season, Siri is hitting .219 with 11 home runs, 29 RBI, 36 runs scored and seven steals in 246 plate appearances.
Siri went 3-for-4 with three runs scored, a double and a walk Friday against the Pirates.
Siri has hit well across the last two weeks, delivering six multi-hit performances in 13 starts. He's also homered four times in that span and tacked on an additional four extra-base hits. It was expected that Siri would primarily contribute stolen bases from a fantasy perspective, but despite swiping only one bag since April 6 he has found ways to be productive, particularly of late.
Siri isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Minnesota.
Siri had started each of the previous eight games in center field and hit a couple home runs over that stretch, but he will begin Wednesday's game on the bench. Jonny DeLuca will occupy center field for the Rays on Wednesday.
