Rangers' Marcus Semien: Homers in four-RBI night
Semien went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double and a sacrifice fly in an 8-3 win over the Royals on Tuesday. He also came in to score three times.
Semien had an excellent night at the plate and came just a triple shy of hitting for the cycle. His home run in the third inning off Jonathan Heasley gave him number eight on the season and his four-RBI night moved him to 32 on the year. Semien got off to a miserable start in his new Texas home this season, but he has put together a solid month of June, with six home runs, a .270 average and six stolen bases. The proven veteran hitter appears to be finding a groove and could make a solid impact moving forward in line with his performances of years past.

Semien went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double, two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-0 win over Philadelphia.
Semien singled in the first, doubled and scored in the sixth and capped off his evening with a two-run homer. The 31-year-old's early-season troubles are no more as he's hitting .316/.391/.531 over his last 110 plate appearances. Additionally, his 16:12 K:BB during that span represents a significant improvement in plate discipline over the first month and a half of the season.

Semien went 3-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 5-3 win over Houston.

The veteran infielder's hot streak continues after his abysmal start to the season; over his last 17 games, Semien is 25-for-73 (.329) with seven steals and eight extra-base hits. He improved his season slash line to .226/.288/.351 through 264 plate appearances.

Rangers' Marcus Semien: On base four times
Semien went 2-for-4 with a double, two walks, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's win over the White Sox.
Semien set the table expertly in this one. He doubled to lead off the game, walked and scored as part of a four-run rally in the fifth, walked again in the eighth and hit a two-run single as part of a four-run 10th inning. His .639 OPS on the season remains poor, but it's a far cry from the .432 OPS he owned as recently as May 17.

Rangers' Marcus Semien: Notches steal in loss
Semien went 0-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.
Semien reached on an error, stole second scored on a Corey Seager double in the sixth inning. Four of Semien's seven steals this season have come in his last 10 games. He's added a paltry .190/.253/.275 slash line with two home runs, 18 RBI, 23 runs scored, nine doubles and a triple in 221 plate appearances this season. The infielder had batted second in each of the last two games, but with Josh Smith (shoulder) exiting Friday's game early, Semien could be an option to return to the leadoff spot Saturday.

Rangers' Marcus Semien: Blasts second homer
Semien went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Rays.
Semien took Corey Kluber yard in the sixth inning to record his second home run of the season. Though he's still slugging just .281 across 217 plate appearances for the campaign, Semien has three extra-base hits -- including both of his long balls -- across his last six starts. Semien's performance hasn't met expectations, but he has still managed to chip in 22 runs scored and six stolen bases despite hitting just .194.

Rangers' Marcus Semien: Registers sixth steal
Semien went 1-for-4 with a stolen base, an RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Athletics.
Semien contributed an RBI single in the fifth inning to stretch the Rangers' lead to 4-0. They fell behind, but 31-year-old helped them tie the game again with some heads-up baserunning in the ninth. He stole second, moved to third on a groundout and scored on a wild pitch, though the A's ultimately walked it off in the bottom of the ninth. Semien has shown some life at the plate lately, going 16-for-56 (.286) in 14 games since May 15. Despite the uptick, he's still sporting a mediocre .196/.258/.268 slash line with one home run, 17 RBi, 19 runs scored and six steals through 45 contests.

The 31-year-old seemed to be feeling the pressure of his huge contract to begin the season, but Semien's looked more like his usual self lately, batting .317 (13-for-41) over the last 10 games with three steals, five runs and eight RBI.

Rangers' Marcus Semien: Swipes bag, collects three hits
Semien went 3-for-5 with two runs scored, one RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 8-5 win over Oakland.
Semien singled and scored in both the first and eighth innings before driving in a run and stealing second base in the ninth.

Rangers' Marcus Semien: Notches fourth steal
Semien went 2-for-4 with a triple, a run, an RBI and a stolen base Wednesday in a 7-2 win over the Angels.
Semien led off the game with a single, stole second base and subsequently came around to score on a Mitch Garver sacrifice fly. He tallied an RBI on a sacrifice fly of his own in the seventh frame. This was one of the better games in what has been a brutal campaign for the veteran, as he still hasn't hit a homer and is slashing just .185/.242/.247 across 178 plate appearances. He may be starting to come on, however, going 9-for-28 (.321) with two RBI and two thefts over his past seven contests.

Rangers' Marcus Semien: Pilfers bag in loss
Semien went 1-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Astros.
The stolen base was Semien's third of the season and first in 28 contests. The second baseman and leadoff batter had his fourth hit in the last two games, but he's still batting just .175 with eight RBI through 36 games. For the optimists, Semien is batting .200 during the month of May, up from a .157 April.

Rangers' Marcus Semien: Comes through with three hits
Semien went 3-for-5 at the dish in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Angels.
The three hits were a season high for Semien and exceeded his combined output (two) from his previous nine games combined. Semien's lowly .173 batting average is destined to climb from here, but the 31-year-old has yet to show any signs of bouncing back in the power department. With his move to Texas this offseason, Semien was already expected to see a downturn from the career-best 45 home runs he delivered with Toronto in 2021, but his decline as a power hitter has been even more severe than anticipated. He has yet to leave the yard through 35 games and has only seven extra-base hits (all doubles) over his 153 plate appearances. Per Statcast, Semien sits in the bottom-10 percentile of all hitters in terms of average exit velocity, barrel rate, expected slugging percentage and hard-hit percentage, so it's tough to count on him staging a major turnaround as a power hitter.

Semien went 0-for-4 in Friday's 7-1 loss to Boston.

Rangers' Marcus Semien: Three-game multi-hit streak ends
Semien went 2-for-8 with a pair of base hits while picking up starts in both ends of Sunday's doubleheader with the Yankees.
Semien provided both of his singles in the Rangers' 2-1 loss in Game 1, marking the third straight contest in which he provided exactly two hits. He came up empty at the dish in Texas' 4-2 win in Game 2, however, and enters Monday's series finale with a .184/.252/.243 slash line on the season. Despite his underwhelming production in his first season in Texas, Semien will sit atop the lineup Monday against Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes.
