Marcus Semien Homers, Logs Third Straight Multi-Hit Game
10 months agoTexas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers. The 32-year-old is rebounding from a difficult 11-for-72 dry spell from June 6 to June 23 with his third straight multi-hit effort. Semien has curiously refrained from attempting a stolen base since May 13, which has marginally curbed his fantasy value over this time. The lack of running could simply be a testament to the high-octane nature of the Rangers offense not warranting the action as frequently; Adolis Garcia has also seen a dip in this area. Nevertheless, Semien remains a supreme fantasy infielder while slashing .281/.341/.462 with 11 homers, 55 RBI and seven stolen bases over 369 plate appearances this year. The workhorse has played in all 78 Texas games in 2023 and Semien is on pace to lead MLB in PAs for the fourth time in the last five seasons.
