Semien went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners.
Semien's home run gave the Rangers a brief lead in the fifth inning. It was his 22nd of the season and fourth in the last six games. While Semien has been fantasy friendly in terms of home runs and runs scored (93), it's been a down season overall for the second baseman. Throwing out the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, the 33-year-old Semien's .704 OPS this season is the lowest its been since 2014.

Rangers' Marcus Semien: Goes deep in win
Rotowire
Semien went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-4 win over Seattle.
Semien belted his 21st home run as part of the Rangers' three-run eighth inning that wiped out the Mariners' lead. It was the second home run in as many days, and third in the last four contests, for Semien, who has hit safely in seven of the last eight games while going 11-for-34 (.324).
Semien went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 14-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Semien put the Rangers on the board in the third inning with a solo home run, his second long ball in the last three games and 20th of the season. He's hit safely in six of the last seven contests, going 9-for-30 (.300) and scored seven runs. Semien is 10 runs shy of posting a fourth consecutive season with at least 100 runs scored.
Semien went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Angels.
Semien ended a 19-game homer drought when he led off the bottom of the first inning with a long ball. In that span, he batted a poor .205 (16-for-78) with three doubles, five RBI, 10 runs scored and two steals. He's started to turn things around with at least one hit in five straight games. The second baseman now has a .238/.308/.387 slash line, 19 homers, 67 RBI, 88 runs scored and six steals over 141 contests this season. He hasn't missed the 20-homer mark in a full-length campaign since 2018, and he has three weeks left to reach that milestone in 2024.
Semien is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
It's a rare day on the bench for Semien, who started Texas' previous 52 games and is sitting for just the third time all season. It's a good time for a day off, though, as the second baseman is in the midst of a 2-for-30 slump over the past seven games. Ezequiel Duran is manning the keystone while Josh Smith receives a look atop the lineup.
