Texas Rangers<\/a> second baseman Marcus Semien<\/a> has a fracture and sprain in his left foot and will likely need four to six weeks to recover, effectively ending his season barring a deep October run.<\/p>\n Semien was placed on the injured list Saturday for just the second time in his 13-year career. He fouled a pitch of his left foot in the first inning of a 6-4 loss in Kansas City on Thursday.<\/p>\n Semien told reporters Sunday that he has a fracture of the third metatarsal as well as a sprain of the Lisfranc ligament in his foot.<\/p>\n “Hopefully we get back in this race and we’ll see where we’re at by that time,” Semien said, according to MLB.com. “I’m going to be watching for a little while here. The Lisfranc is what we’re most worried about, just trying to keep it intact by staying off of it. If you tear that, then it could be a year. I’m just trying to keep that intact and let the the other fracture heal.”<\/p>\n The Rangers entered Sunday night’s games 4.5 games back of the Seattle Mariners<\/a> for the final wild-card spot in the American League. They are 6.5 games behind the Houston Astros<\/a> in the AL West.<\/p>\n Semien’s only other trip to the injured list came with the Athletics early in the 2017 season, when he missed almost three months with a right wrist injury. Before the foot injury, Semien had missed just six of the Rangers’ 615 games since joining them before the 2022 season on a $175 million, seven-year contract.<\/p>\n “It’s definitely new for me,” Semien said. “I haven’t been on the IL in a long time. But it’s going to be some time. So I think that what I can do is watch the games and just do my part to help the guys.”<\/p>\n Semien, 34, is hitting .230 with 15 homers, 62 RBIs and a team-leading 62 runs. He leads Texas in games (609), hits (610), triples (12), walks (239), runs (386) and total bases (1027) since joining the club.<\/p>\n The Associated Press contributed to this story. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aug 24, 2025, 08:38 PM ET Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien has a fracture and sprain in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":92197,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":["post-93726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93726","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=93726"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93726\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=93726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=93726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=93726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
