Semien went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Friday's spring game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Semien is batting .320 (8-for-25) with six runs scored over nine Cactus League contests. He fell off in all the major hitting categories in 2022, his first year with the Rangers, and he needs to bounce back in 2023 to justify the seven-year, $175 million investment Texas has in him.

Semien went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
After going 0-for-5 in the matinee, Semien got the Rangers on the board in the bottom of the first inning of the nightcap, coming home on an Adolis Garcia single after stealing his 25th base of the year. Semien's prior career high in that category was only 15, but his power numbers took a major step backward from his massive 2021 performance with Toronto. With another six years and $150 million left on his contract with Texas, he'll get plenty of chances to try and put it all together.

Semien went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Thursday's 10-9 extra-innings loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Semien accounted for two of the Rangers' five homers in the game, and he was one of three players across both teams to leave the yard twice. The infielder hit a two-run blast in the third inning, a solo shot in the seventh and a sacrifice fly in the 11th to account for his four RBI. He's up to 26 homers, 82 RBI, 99 runs scored, 24 stolen bases and a .255/.311/.444 slash line through 154 contests. Semien has hit safely in five straight games, going 7-for-20 (.350) with three homers in that span.

He also has four home runs in September to go along with 10 doubles, 14 RBI and 15 runs scored.

Semien went 3-for-5 with three doubles and three runs scored in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Semien flexed some muscle against one of his former teams, producing multiple doubles in one game for the first time this year. He came around to score each time he got aboard, and each of his two-baggers led off an inning. The second baseman has posted consecutive three-hit games, raising his slash line to .248/.305/.428 with 22 home runs, 72 RBI, 89 runs scored, 24 stolen bases and 28 doubles through 141 games.

Semien went 3-for-4 with a triple, a two-run home run and an additional run and RBI in a 10-6 loss to the Marlins in the second game of Monday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
Semien gave the Rangers a brief 3-1 lead in the top of the fifth inning with his 22nd homer, but Texas relievers gave it all back and then some in the bottom of the frame. The second baseman endured a rough couple of months to start his career in Texas (.524 OPS through June 1), but Semien has an .825 OPS over 92 games since June 2, bashing 21 of his 22 home runs since then.
