Overview

• Specialist evaluation confirmed a left third metatarsal fracture and a Lisfranc ligament sprain after initial X-ray, MRI and CT scans were inconclusive.
• Semien described a typical recovery of four to six weeks, making a regular-season return unlikely unless the Rangers play deep into October.
• He suffered the injury by fouling a ball off his left foot on Aug. 21 in Kansas City, stayed in briefly, and was later pinch-hit for.
• Semien, one of MLB’s most durable players since 2018, had rarely been on the injured list and leads the majors in games and plate appearances over that span.
• Texas will redistribute at-bats at second and third base, with increased opportunities for Josh Jung, Ezequiel Durán and Cody Freeman reported as possibilities.
