Mets' Marcus Semien: Headed to New York
The Rangers are trading Marcus Semien to the New York Mets in exchange for outfielder Brandon Nimmo, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.Semien's numbers have been trending down in recent years, and his .669 OPS last season was the lowest mark of his career. However, the 35-year-old still provided a mix of moderate power and speed with 15 homers and 11 stolen bases, and he offers elite defense at second base, as he's coming off winning his second Gold Glove Award. Semien ended the campaign on the 60-day injured list due to a foot injury, but he's expected to have a normal offseason and to be ready for spring training. Nimmo has a full no-trade clause in his contract, but per Will Sammon of The Athletic, the outfielder has already approved the deal.

Rangers' Marcus Semien: Takes batting practice Monday

Texas is a few games back from a wild-card spot, so the club would certainly welcome Semien back into the fold down the stretch if he's cleared for game action.

Rangers' Marcus Semien: Could be done for season
Marcus Semien said after Sunday's 5-0 win over the Guardians that he has been diagnosed with a fractured third metatarsal and a Lisfranc sprain in his left foot, which will likely require 4-to-6 weeks of recovery, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.Texas placed Semien on the 10-day injured list Saturday with what the team listed as a left foot contusion, but follow-up tests on the foot evidently revealed that he was dealing with structural damage. With five weeks left in the regular season, the 34-year-old now appears at risk of being shut down for 2025, unless the Texas Rangers are able to clinch a playoff spot and make a deep run in October. Ezequiel Duran drew the start at second base Sunday, and he could handle the bulk of the work at that position while Semien is on the shelf.

Rangers' Marcus Semien: Shelved with bruised foot
Texas placed Marcus Semien on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a left foot contusion.Semien has been out of the lineup since Thursday, when he fouled a ball off his left foot during a game against the Royals. Though the veteran infielder is slated to meet with a foot doctor Sunday, the Texas Rangers decided not to wait until the results of that meeting to place him on the IL. The transaction made room on the 26-man active roster for outfielder Adolis Garcia (ankle), who was reinstated from the IL. Semien's everyday role at second base could be assumed by a combination of Ezequiel Duran, Josh Smith and/or Cody Freeman, the latter of whom will start at the position Saturday versus Cleveland.
