Semien went 2-for-4 with a two-run shot, his 12th home run of the season, in Sunday's win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

He's had a fairly quite June so far, hitting .257 (9-for-35) with two homers, three RBI, three runs scored and two steals, but given his defensive improvements in 2016 the A's seem willing to give Semien plenty of leeway at the plate.

Semien went 1-for-3 with home run, a walk and a strikeout Friday against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Semien has hit safely in five of the past six games, and he's also had two multi-hit games over that span. The 25-year-old shortstop has hit .273 with a .485 SLG over the past 10 games, and his fantasy value will continue to be pretty high as long as he can keep showing this sort of power from a middle infield position.

Semien went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI against Minnesota Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Semien ranks second in the team with 23 RBI. He's his safely in six of the last nine games, but his average over that span is a paltry .206. It's no secret he needs to produce a bit more at the plate, although at least he's doing better in May (.236) when compared to his struggles during April (.205).

Semien went 2-for-4 with an RBI and run scored in Saturday's 12-3 victory over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Even the struggling shortstop got in on the A's' 17-hit act Saturday, notching his first multi-hit game since May 18, and sixth overall during the month Although he's still largely scuffling at the plate, Semien has managed to nudge his average up 17 points to .222, and now has 12 RBI on the month as well.

Semien hit a solo home run in a 1-for-3 game in Monday's win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Semien's one-dimensional season continues. He now has 10 home runs, ranking him third among major league shortstops, one behind both Manny Machado and Trevor Story. However, he is still hitting just .220/.307/.472 as a 22.9 percent strikeout rate and .207 BABIP are dragging him down. Semien will probably find more hits in play soon, but it's doubtful he'll keep slugging like this, as his career high in home runs is 15 in 155 games last year.

Semien went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, three RBI, a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-4 victory over the Orioles in the first game of a double-header.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old now has back-to-back multi-hit outings, after not having accomplished the feat since April 12. Furthermore, those two contests have also included back-to-back homers, as well as four RBI. After a late April slump that saw his average dip to .186 at one point, Semien is now hitting .221 with a team-leading eight homers. His current long ball tally has him well on pace to surpass the 15 homers he managed over 556 at-bats in 2015. However, with only one other extra-base hit besides the gopher balls, the four-year pro is has been a bit on the feast-or-famine side to date this season.

Semien continued his struggles on Tuesday against the Mariners, going 0-for-3 to drop his average to .195.

EDGE Analysis

Semien does have six homers already in 2016 which has helped fantasy owners a lot, but he is really struggling to hit for average. Semien has not had a multiple hit game since April 12th which is affecting his ability to steal bases as he only has one swipe on the year as a result. Semien's average is keeping him from moving up from the nine slot in the A's batting order, impairing his fantasy value.

Semien went 1-for-3 with a solo homer Friday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Semien's sixth homer of the season started a rally in the eighth inning of a game the Athletics would come from behind to win. Overall, he's having a very difficult month while batting .197, but the homers have helped him to move his slugging percentage to .447.

Semien hit his fifth homer of the season -- a two-run shot -- during Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

The shortstop now leads the team in long balls, but is hitting just .197 for the season. The power is nice and he's currently on pace to surpass last year's career-high 15 home runs. However, until he gets more consistent with the bat, Semien isn't the most attractive fantasy option.

Semien has his first multi-hit game of the spring Monday, going 2-for-4 against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Semien enters 2016 in a better place than spring 2015, now clearly slotted in as the A's starting shortstop. Offensively, Semien provided nice fantasy value in 2015, compiling 15 homers to go with 11 stolen bases. Semien's big issue was the large number of errors he had at shortstop, but he seemed to gain comfort and confidence with the leather in the second half under the tutelage of Ron Washington. With the A's lineup stronger in 2016, it is still up in the air where Semien may slot in the lineup which could affect his runs and RBI, but he should be a nice source of speed and power for fantasy owners later in drafts at a thin position.
