Marcus Semien's left foot contusion forced a 10-day IL stint, and the Rangers’ playoff bid hinges on a precise prognosis after X-rays, MRI and CAT scans with Lisfranc feared. Texas must weather a major infield void while Semien’s durability and leadership are in question. The scrambling continues as the lineup and defense are reassembled.

Cody Freeman steps in at second, Ezequiel Durán shuffles around the keystone, and Adolis García returns to bolster the lineup. With 10 on the IL, Texas faces a make-or-break stretch against Guardians and Angels, testing depth, Bochy’s improvisation, and the club’s pulse in a high-stakes chase.
