Semien (wrist) is throwing over the top from 75 feet and hitting every other day, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Semien is making incremental steps towards a full recovery after undergoing wrist surgery in April and is eligible to come off the disabled list in mid-June. It would seem he still has a ways to go before returning to the big leagues, however, since the A's would like to see more everyday activity before initiating a minor-league rehab assignment. Adam Rosales and Chad Pinder will continue seeing time at shortstop until Semien makes his long-awaited return.

Semien (wrist) played catch Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is the first semblance of baseball activities Semien has taken part in since undergoing wrist surgery in April. He'll look to ramp up his throwing in the coming days as he aims for a return during the month of June. Adam Rosales will continue to man shortstop in his stead.

Semien had the cast on his injured wrist removed Friday, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Semien will work with trainers over the next few days to determine his timetable for getting back into baseball activity. He will likely require a substantial rehab assignment before he can return to the diamond, so it would still be a surprise if he suits up for the Athletics before the end of May.

Semien (wrist) remains without a timetable for having his cast removed, John Hickey of the East Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Semien is scheduled to be reevaluated again in early June, at which point the Athletics could have a better idea of when he'll be able to take the cast off and resume baseball activities. For now, it looks like Semien will be limited to cardio workouts while he waits for the wrist to heal up. Adam Rosales has been serving as the Athletics' everyday shortstop while Semien has been sidelined.

Semien (hand) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
This doesn't come as too much of a surprise, as the 26-year-old just had six screws inserted into his scaphoid bone to help repair a fracture. Semien will be reevaluated in six weeks, at which point there may be a clearer timetable for his return. He is eligible to come of the DL in mid-June, though it remains uncertain whether he'll be activated then. In the meantime, Adam Rosales and Chad Pinder will continue to fill in at shortstop in his stead.

Semien will have surgery on his right wrist after a CT scan revealed a fracture of the scaphoid bone, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although the shortstop was initially diagnosed with a bone contusion, further tests revealed troubling news for Semien and the A's, as the 26-year-old's ailing wrist will require surgery to heal. There is currently no timetable for his recovery, though he won't even be reevaluated for another six weeks after the procedure, so it could be awhile until he is back with the A's. Adam Rosales should fill in at shortstop during his absence.

Semien (wrist) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Semien underwent an MRI on his ailing right wrist Saturday, and although he was diagnosed with merely a contusion, the Athletics ordered a CT scan Monday to take a further investigate the issue. While it's possible those scans won't reveal any new information, the Athletics will err on the side of caution and shelve Semien for at least the next week and a half in order to avoid an aggravation. Chad Pinder was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move and is expected to share duties at shortstop with Adam Rosales for the duration of Semien's absence.

Semien (wrist) was diagnosed with a bone contusion in his right wrist and will receive a CT scan Monday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Semien was held out of Saturday's lineup after the ailing wrist was reportedly inhibiting him during Friday's contest, but it seems like a bigger problem has been avoided at this time. The CT scan may reveal more on Monday, but for the time being, Semien should be considered day-to-day. Adam Rosales could pick up some extra playing time in his stead.

Semien has been dealing with an injury to his right wrist and will undergo an MRI on Saturday, Joe Stiglich of NBC Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Bob Melvin says the ailment has been nagging Semien while hitting and hindered his throwing during Friday's loss. The injury could serve as an explanation for a rough start at the plate this season, the shortstop is hitting just .171 with 11 strikeouts over 11 games. The team can only hope it's nothing serious, but if Semien is forced to miss extended time, backup Adam Rosales will be in line for increased playing time.
