Semien (foot) has a fractured third metatarsal and a lisfranc sprain in his left foot, which will sideline him 4-to-6 weeks, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Semien was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with what was initially described as a left foot contusion, but the final diagnosis is more significant. With roughly six weeks left in the regular season, the 34-year-old now appears to be at risk of being sidelined until October. Ezequiel Duran drew the start at second base in Sunday's 5-0 victory over the Guardians, and he could handle the bulk of the work at that position moving forward in Semien's absence.

Texas placed Semien (foot) on the 10-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to Aug. 22.
EDGE Analysis
Semien has been out of the lineup since Thursday, when he fouled a ball off his left foot during a game against the Royals. Though the veteran infielder is slated to meet with a foot doctor Sunday, the Rangers decided not to wait until the results of that meeting to place him on the IL. The transaction made room on the 26-man roster for the Rangers to activate Adolis Garcia (ankle) off the IL. Semien's starting role at second base could be assumed by a combination of Ezequiel Duran, Josh Smith and/or Cody Freeman, the latter of which is starting at the position Saturday versus Cleveland.

Semien (foot) is slated to meet with a foot doctor Sunday and will not play Saturday, Matthew Postins of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Semien hasn't played since being removed from Thursday's contest against Kansas City a few innings after fouling a ball off his foot. The veteran infielder has so far had an X-Ray, CAT scan and MRI, with results of the latter coming back inconclusive. Semien's meeting with the foot doctor should provide more clarity about the specifics of his injury and a return timeline. It's unlikely that he'll play in any capacity this weekend.

Semien (foot) is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Guardians on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Semien fouled a ball off his left foot during Thursday's game against the Royals and was diagnosed with a foot contusion. Per Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com, Semien is in jeopardy of missing the entire weekend series, so his absence from Friday's lineup isn't surprising. Ezequiel Duran will draw the start at the keystone and bat eighth.

Semien (foot) could miss the entire weekend series against the Guardians and a trip to the 10-day injured list is possible, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Semien had to be lifted from Thursday's game versus the Royals due to a left foot contusion after fouling a ball off the area. He has not been diagnosed with any fractures, but evidently the discomfort could keep him out a handful of days or longer. Ezequiel Duran, Cody Freeman and Josh Smith and Michael Helman are options to play second base for the Rangers while Semien is out.

EDGE Analysis
Semien fouled a ball off his foot in the first inning during a plate appearance that eventually resulted in a strikeout. He remained in the game initially but was removed in the third inning. It sounds like a day-to-day injury, but the Rangers could have more on Semien's status after the contest.

Semien was removed from Thursday's game in Kansas City during the third inning due to an undisclosed injury, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Semien recently dealt with a wrist issue, but it's not clear whether that's the injury that forced his exit Thursday. The Rangers should have more information on the second baseman soon.

Semien went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run homer and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-4 win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Semien has held out of the lineup Saturday after being hit in the right wrist by a pitch in Friday's loss to the Blue Jays. He was back in the lineup for Sunday's contest and made his presence felt immediately with a two-run homer to left field in the second inning. Semien has posted a .585 OPS with three home runs and 12 RBI over 119 plate appearances since the All-Star break, and Sunday's efforts marked his first multi-hit game since July 30 against the Angels.

Semien (wrist) will start at second base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
After being hit in the right wrist by a pitch in Friday's 6-5 loss, Semien was able to finish out the contest but was withheld from the lineup for Saturday's 14-2 loss while he contended with swelling and soreness in the wrist. The day off appears to have provided sufficient time for Semien to heal up from the injury, as he'll take back his usual spot at the keystone in the series finale while Ezequiel Duran retreats to the bench.
