Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a strikeout in a 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. Semien opened up the scoring with a 372-foot home run to the left field off Johan Oviedo in the top of the first inning. It was his only hit of the ball game but it proved to be the difference maker in a one-run contest. For the season, the 32-year-old second baseman is slashing .299/.373/.498 with eight home runs, 40 RBI, and seven stolen bases over 201 at-bats. He's nearly halfway to his 2022 RBI total (83) in just 49 games so far this season.
Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien went 2-for-5 with two RBI, blasting his sixth homer of the season in a 4-3 triumph over the Mariners on Wednesday. The 32-year-old holds something of a fantasy sell-high case after this performance, as he possesses a noticeable discrepancy between his actual and expected numbers in multiple hitting statistics, per Statcast. Before Wednesday's game, the infielder exhibited a near 100-point differential between his SLG (.457) and xSLG (.362) percentages, according to Statcast's database. Perhaps this debatable sell-high window could extend through the weekend as Semien and his fantasy managers look forward to a four-game set with his former Athletics club and their shoddy pitching.
Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien unloaded a grand slam in a 9-1 win over Houston on Sunday. Semien went 2-for-5 in the contest. The 32-year-old is batting lead-off, and he currently has a .250 batting average with two home runs, 12 RBI, and four doubles in the first month of the season. He's only swiped one base this year, but Semien will be a force on the base path, as he had 25 stolen bases just one year ago.

The Rangers' highly-paid shortstop was a disaster in the first two months of 2022, slashing .199/.266/.274 with just one home run. He patched all of that up after the calendar turned to June, slashing .268/.319/.490 and hitting 25 homers in the 517 PAs that followed. When all was said and done, Semien put up another top-30 fantasy season with 26 homers, 25 steals, 101 runs, and 83 RBI. He's been a counting stat monster for a while now, doing a little bit of everything. The batting average came down last year, mostly because of that horribly slow start - there is a good chance for an improvement there in 2023 but being a pull-heavy fly ball hitter doesn't lend itself to a great batting average, so the expectation should be around .260 once again. Nobody has more plate appearances than Semien's 3,134 since 2018 - and he's got a great chance to hit lead-off 162 more times in 2023, which locks in a really useful fantasy season for him - especially with the improving lineup behind him. He is a top-40 pick in 2023, but it's hard to say he's not worth it while he projects for 20+ homers, 20+ steals, and 100+ runs.
