Sierra started the 2017 season with the Palm Beach Cardinals of the High–A Florida State League. Because of injuries to José Martínez, Stephen Piscotty, and Dexter Fowler, the Cardinals called Sierra up to the majors on May 7, 2017, and started him in center field the same day in a 6−4 extra innings victory versus the Atlanta Braves. His first major league hit was a single in the sixth inning of his debut versus starting pitcher R. A. Dickey. After hitting safely in each of his seven games played (11-for-30), batting .367/.406/.367 with a .773 OPS and eight runs scored, the Cardinals optioned Sierra to the Springfield Cardinals of the Double–A Texas League. After his July 15 recall, he became the first Cardinals' player to hit safely in all of his first nine games (July 16).
On December 14, 2017, the Cardinals traded Sierra, along with Sandy Alcántara, Zac Gallen, and Daniel Castano, to the Miami Marlins for Marcell Ozuna. MLB.com ranked Sierra as Miami's seventh best prospect going into the 2018 season.
He began 2018 with the New Orleans Baby Cakes, for whom he batted .260/.287/.341 in 346 at bats. With the Marlins, he batted .190/.222/.211 in 147 at bats, and stole three bases in five attempts. He came in third to Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton and Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Roman Quinn in 2018 of all MLB players in average sprint speed, at 30.2 feet per second.
Sierra spent most of the 2019 season split between the Triple-A New Orleans Baby Cakes and the Double-A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, but did appear in 15 major league games, notching a .350/.381/.425 batting line with 1 RBI. In 19 games for the Marlins in 2020, Sierra slashed .250/.333/.364 with 7 RBI in 44 at-bats.
In 2021, Sierra played in a career-high 123 games (only 43 of which he started) and batted .230/.281/.268 in 225 plate appearances. On November 3, 2021, Sierra was outrighted off of the 40-man roster. Sierra became a free agent following the 2021 season.
