Rangers announced this afternoon that they have been placed Marcus Semien On the list of 10-day injuries, the left foot contusion action was a move that dated August 22. With corresponding actions, outfielder Adolis Garcia Activate from the injured list.
While Semien was in trouble for a few days at this point, it was still a gentle surprise to see the shelves on the veteran’s head. The 34-year-old veteran is arguably one of the most reliable players in the entire sport. Semien has played 93.7% of the teams since returning to A’s first full season with A in 2015. Almost all of these missed games were in 2017, when he was confined to 85 games with a sprained wrist. Outside that season, he has not played less than 155 games in 162 seasons since becoming a full-time player.
Things will change now, because Semien is not eligible to leave the shelves until August 31. Rangers are more than Semien’s 88 WRC+ at first glance, it seems to be a loss. Despite his weak offensive percentage, strong defense and racing have allowed Semien to put together 2.1 FWAR so far this year, and Semien has performed well since breaking the early stages of the season. While he was one of the worst hitters in baseball games in the first two months of the season, he has cut .270/.338/.464 (122 WRC+) in 311 set appearances since May 30.
Ezequiel Duran and Cody Freeman Semien has been out in the past two days and has won a rep in the second base. Although effective Josh Smith Representatives may also be obtained in Keystone in the next few days. Now, Garcia is back. Smith mainly paid outfields in recent days, while Garcia stayed on the injury list due to a sprained ankle. It was a tough year for Garcia, who hit only .224/.266/.388 in 116 games with 79 WRC+, and unlike Semien, he hasn’t largely turned his season around. He will hope to do that in this year’s game, as Garcia has no strong performance in the season looks like a non-sports candidate who is likely to enter the offseason.
It seems to be the veteran’s right-hander in other Rangers’ injury news Chris Martin It should not be expected to return to major anytime soon. Dallas Morning News’ Shawn McFarland wrote this afternoon that Martin was forced to end his live bullpen meeting after the calf strains had been eliminated since the outbreak late last month. Manager Bruce Bochy called the incident a “small setback” in Martin’s efforts to return to the Rangers this year, but as September approaches quickly, you can wonder how long Martin’s return window will remain open. Texas will definitely like to bring him back because he was incredibly healthy this year, with a 2.36 ERA on 39 appearances.
