His two-run blast contributed to his season total, bringing his home run count to 22. Despite the loss, Semien's power continues to be a bright spot in an otherwise mediocre batting average season. His .238 average and .306 wOBA suggest limited overall impact in fantasy outside of power categories. Owners should value him for his consistent run production and moderate power but be wary of the batting average drag.

Marcus Semien went 2-for-4 in the Rangers' 5-4 win over the Mariners, including a home run and one RBI.

His performance today, punctuated by his 21st homer of the season, provided a much-needed boost to the Rangers' lineup. Despite a batting average of .239 this season, Semien's ability to contribute key hits has kept his fantasy relevance afloat, especially in leagues that value power from the middle infield positions. His consistent run production, now at 91 for the season, along with a modest mix of home runs and doubles, makes him a viable option for fantasy managers in need of infield depth. However, his relatively high strikeout rate and low BABIP suggest potential volatility in his performance, so managers should remain cautious.

Marcus Semien went 2-for-5 in the Rangers' heavy 14-4 loss to the Diamondbacks, including a home run, two runs scored, and two RBI.

Despite the team's struggles, Semien's power stroke was on display as he added his 20th homer of the season. His batting average remains a modest .238 through 143 games, and while his power numbers are respectable, his overall production has been somewhat inconsistent. Fantasy managers should appreciate the home runs and RBI but remain wary of the low batting average and modest on-base skills, as evidenced by his .304 wOBA and .253 BABIP. Semien's ability to contribute in multiple categories keeps him relevant, but expectations should be tempered given the overall hitting metrics.

Marcus Semien went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base in the Rangers' 6-4 win over the Angels.

This performance, while modest, continues to highlight Semien's role as a steady contributor in the Rangers' lineup. His season batting average sits at .236, which, combined with his 18 home runs and now five stolen bases, positions him as a somewhat inconsistent yet valuable middle infield option in fantasy leagues. Fantasy managers should note his low BABIP of .253, suggesting some potential for positive regression in batting average, though his overall production might still hover around current levels due to the high strikeout rate and modest walk rate.

Marcus Semien is in the starting lineup for the Rangers Thursday.
