Marcus Semien Out 4-6 Weeks, Could Miss Rest of Season
Marcus Semien (foot) was diagnosed on Sunday with a fractured third metatarsal bone and a Lisfranc sprain in his left foot and could miss the rest of the season, Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News reports. The durable Semien, who's on the 10-day IL for the first time since 2017, suffered the injury when he fouled a ball off his foot in a loss to the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. The 34-year-old won't require surgery, but with his recovery expected to take four to six weeks, he might not play again in 2025 unless the Rangers rally for an improbable playoff berth. They're 4 1/2 games back in the AL wild-card race and 6 1/2 behind the AL West-leading Houston Astros. If Semien's season is over, it'll end with a subpar .230/.305/.364 line, 15 homers, 62 RBI, 62 runs, and 11 stolen bases in 534 plate appearances. Ezequiel Duran, Cody Freeman, and Josh Smith could all see time at the keystone in Semien's absence.
