Marcus Semien News
Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien went 2-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI, two runs scored and two strikeouts in Thursday's 10-9 loss to the Seattle Mariners. Thursday's game featured an offensive explosion from both teams, and Semien was right in the thick of it. The 32-year-old power-hitting second baseman is now hitting .255/.311/.444 with 26 home runs, 82 RBI, 99 runs scored and 24 stolen bases in his 628 at-bats in his first year for the Rangers. It's a drop after he hit a record-breaking 45 home runs and drove in 102 runs in 2021 in his final year with the Blue Jays, but his production this year has still been solid for fantasy managers. Hopefully he'll finish off his 2022 campaign strong for his fantasy managers.
Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien doubled three times Tuesday, coming around to score on each occasion in an 8-7 victory over the Oakland Athletics. It's his second consecutive three-hit game, and Semien now has a .276/.321/.504 slash line with five homers and five steals over his last 30 games. With 22 homers and 24 steals on the season, he's been able to silence any early-season doubters. Semien remains one of the premiere power-speed options in the majors, and his middle-infield eligibility boosts his fantasy value even further.
Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien contributed across the board Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk, and a stolen base in a 6-2 loss to the red-hot Seattle Mariners. Semien now has 13 home runs and 17 stolen bases on the season, totals which affirm his place towards the top of many rankings despite an ice-cold start to the season. With a .264/.316/.496 slash line in his last 30 games, Semien is primed to greatly improve on his current .697 season OPS in the second half, and fantasy managers should look to make a move for him if they still can.

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.
