Semien’s injury absence has put a dent in the middle infield, but the Rangers’ offense has adapted and carried the pace through August. His return is pivotal for depth and the health of the lineup, though the rest of the roster has proven resilient.

Semien remains in a protective boot with a fracture/sprain, facing a tight window to rehab and return. His veteran leadership anchors the clubhouse while his on-field absence forces a reshuffled infield and a recalibrated lineup, impacting run production and veteran-level guidance in the chase for a playoff berth.

Semien’s sidelining amid the Rangers’ injury woes amplified the offense’s fragility; his eventual return should re-install a top-of-order presence, elevating run production and RBI opportunities in the lineup’s most critical spots.

Semien’s health and production anchor the top of the order, providing speed and power. His batting presence and leadership stabilize the lineup, especially when others are slumping, making him a key piece for Texas' late-season surge.

Semien is sidelined with a foot fracture, thinning Texas’ middle infield and elevating Langford and Garcia to more prominent roles. His absence shifts the Rangers' counting stats expectations and makes the lineup more Tobias-centric for fantasy purposes.
