Semien went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Twins on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Semien's lone hit was a productive one, as he belted a solo homer to left field in the second inning. The veteran second baseman continues to turn things around after a horrible start to the season that resulted in a .172 batting average through 56 games. Since May 30, Semien is batting a robust .459 (17-for-37) with three home runs, 10 RBI, 13 runs and three stolen bases over 11 contests.

Semien went 2-for-3 with a double, three RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 5-0 victory over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
After going 0-for-4 in the series opener against the Nationals, Semien bounced back Saturday to stay hot at the plate. He struggled mightily in May, slashing just .207/.302/.272 with two extra-base hits and eight RBI, but the second baseman is off to a scorching start to June with a .421/.522/.895 line, five extra-base hits and five RBI through six games. For a Rangers team that has underwhelmed in 2025, a resurgence from the 34-year-old could be a key factor in helping them work their way back into contention.

Semien went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Semien went deep in the fifth and seventh innings to give the Rangers a 3-1 lead. It unraveled in the ninth, but Semien continued a productive stretch that has seen him homer three times over the last six games for half of his output on the year. The second baseman is at a .210/.298/.308 slash line, six homers, 23 RBI, 21 runs scored and five stolen bases over 62 contests. Considering he has just nine extra-base hits on the year after posting 52 of them in 2024, he is due for a bit more power.

Semien went 4-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 11-1 win over St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
It was much-needed breakout game for Semien, who's been mired in a season-long slump that's seen him get dropped to the lower part of Texas' lineup. His four hits established a season high, and it was his first big fly since May 11. The veteran second baseman likely still has work to do before the Rangers consider elevating him to a higher lineup position -- Semien is still batting just .200 with eight RBI in 90 at-bats in May -- but Friday was certainly a step in the right direction.

Semien will start at second base and bat ninth in Friday's game versus the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Semien was demoted from leadoff to the fifth spot in the lineup in late April, and he's now been dropped all the way to the bottom of the batting order. The veteran infielder has just a .512 OPS in May after posting a .504 OPS in April.

Semien went 0-for-3 in Thursday's 1-0 win over Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Semien appeared to be coming out of a season-opening funk when he was dropped mid-April from leadoff to fifth in the order, but any initial success was fleeting. He posted a .271 average and .702 OPS over 14 games immediately after the change but recently is 4-for-33 (.121) with a .407 OPS across the last nine contests.

Semien went 1-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Like several Texas hitters Semien is off to a slow start, but he's coming around. Thursday's single extended his hit streak to six games, during which he's batting .400 with a .520 on-base percentage. Since being dropped from leadoff to the fifth spot in the batting order, Semien has a .787 OPS over 10 games compared to .401 in 21 games atop the order.

Semien went 3-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 15-2 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Semien, who hit safely for a fourth straight game, was one of three Texas batters to log three hits, as the team's struggling offense busted out Tuesday. Since dropping to the fifth spot in the batting order, Semien is 8-for-29 (.276) with a home run, seven RBI and three runs scored. That's a positive sign for the second baseman, who has a career-low .493 OPS through 29 games.
