Rangers general manager Ross Fenstermaker said Friday that Semien (foot) is expected to have a normal offseason, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Semien last played in late August due to a fractured third metatarsal and a Lisfranc sprain in his left foot, but he has not encountered any setbacks in his recovery and will not have his offseason training interrupted. The veteran second baseman slashed .230/.305/.364 with 15 home runs and 11 stolen bases over 127 contests in 2025.

The Rangers transferred Semien (foot) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Semien has already been ruled out for the 2025 season due to a fractured third metatarsal and a Lisfranc sprain in his left foot. His move to the 60-day IL will simply act as a way to clear space on the 40-man roster for Dom Hamel, who was claimed off waivers from the Orioles on Saturday.

Manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday that Semien (foot) will not play again this season, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Semien resumed taking live BP and running Friday, but with the Rangers five games out of a wild-card spot with six to play, the team will pull the plug on its efforts to get the veteran infielder back in the lineup this year. He'll close the book on 2025 with a career-low .669 OPS alongside 15 homers, 62 RBI, 62 runs scored and 11 steals through 127 games. Cody Freeman projects to be the Rangers' primary second baseman for the remainder of the regular season.

Semien (foot) took live batting practice and did some running Friday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Semien ramped up his activity this week and is hoping to get on the field with the limited time left in the regular season. The Rangers have lost five consecutive games and sit five games back of the final wild-card spot with eight left to play. Ultimately, whether Semien returns to the active roster may depend on the team's slim playoff hopes.

Semien (foot) was spotted taking batting practice on the field Monday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The team has yet to offer up a timeline for Semien's return after he went down with a broken left foot in late August, but it's a positive sign that he's progressed to taking on-field BP. Texas is a few games back from a wild-card spot, so the club would certainly welcome Semien back into the fold down the stretch if he's cleared for game action.

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) underwent an MRI on Friday that came back inconclusive, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Semien fouled a ball off his foot during the series finale against the Royals on Thursday and was held out of Friday's lineup. He remained in a walking boot and could miss the entire weekend set against the Guardians. Ezequiel Duran started at second base in Semien's place.

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.

Ezequiel Duran will draw the start at the keystone and bat eighth.
