Marcus Semien Snaps Power Skid
Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien went 2-for-3 with a home run, four RBI, and a walk during their 8-5 victory over the Athletics on Tuesday evening. Semien would bring in his first run of the evening on a sacrifice fly in the opening frame. In the fifth inning, Semien would launch a three-run shot, which extended their lead by five runs. This home run scored outfielder Adolis Garcia and shortstop Corey Seager. The veteran second baseman has had a difficult start to the campaign. Entering Tuesday, Semien held an underwhelming .156/.227/.200 slash line through the first 16 games of the month. During this stretch, he hit just one double and one home run. Tuesday's performance was also Semien's first multi-hit game of the campaign. Given his slow start, fantasy managers in shallow formats should continue to monitor his production before viewing him as a must-start option. He will look to continue this momentum on Wednesday, facing Athletics southpaw JP Sears.
