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.

Marcus Semien parlayed a career-best season into a seven-year contract worth $175 million to play for the Texas Rangers. There is no question that he will stay at second base following a similar payday for shortstop Corey Seager, who will slot alongside Semien in the infield and the new-look Rangers lineup. Semien was a revelation for fantasy teams after he finished fourth in the majors with 45 home runs, fifth with 115 runs, and 15th with 102 RBI. Add in 15 steals and he was a true five-category contributor. The question about whether this is repeatable doesn't come down to track record. Although he had never reached those heights, Semien had a pair of big-power seasons under his belt and five seasons with double-digit steals. The move from Toronto to Texas makes for a far inferior supporting cast and park factor; Globe Life Park ranked 22nd in HR Factor in 2021. Semien will be universally regarded as a top-50 fantasy player, which is fair, but it's best not to overpay for last year's stats. His early NFBC ADP of 25 is tad high compared to players like Whit Merrifield going after him who can provide a higher floor in batting average and more steals.
