The Texas Rangers placed the Second Honkman Marcus -seeds On the injured list of a broken left foot at the weekend, retroactive effect with the matches of Thursday. The result of a error ball that hit the top of his foot was initially diagnosed a contusion, but after getting several additional opinions, that diagnosis was revised for a fracture of the third midfoot and a Lisfranc sprain. Semien, who will be 35 next month and whose last injury that earned an IL stint was a polise in 2017, has one of his weaker offensive seasons, with a .230/.305/.364 Triple Slash Line, but thanks to his still fixed glove, he is still 2.1 war. The injury will probably end the regular season of Semien, and given where Texas is in the rankings, are probably 2025.
I can’t think of many good times to break your foot. I just speak for myself, I could consider a broken foot, say, say, go to a wedding that I really don’t want to attend. But Semien is a professional athlete, not an introverted baseball analyst of middle -aged writes from home surrounded by computers and cats, and his team is on the edge. Texas comes from a Sweep from the Cleveland Guardians, but those three victories only brought the team back to the .500 marking, with a record of 9-13 for August.
The seeds of the seeds Noted on Sunday That he does not believe that an operation will be required, and he is actually a little more concerned about the sprain of Lisfranc:
“Hopefully we will return to this race and we will see where we are by that time,” Semien said. “I’m going to look here for a while. The Lisfranc is what we worry about most about, just try to keep it intact by staying off. If you tear that, it can be a year. I just try to keep that intact and let the other break heal.”
For those who, like me, get the most of their knowledge of human skeletons from the Song DEM Bones:
Your cords connected to the metatarsals
Your third metatarsal connected to the lateral cuneiform script
Your lateral cune form connected to the navicular bone
Your navicular bone connected to the talus
I hear the word of Elattrache!
Or, the helper, the Metatarsals are bones in the middle of the foot that help to bridge the toes and the ankle. The lateral cuneiform script is one of the “suspension bridges” of the foot, leaving the bow of the foot stable. The Lisfranc -Ligament is like the hanging cables that give that kind of bridge its name and help keep everything together. Imagine the inevitable fate of the Golden Gate Bridge in every disaster film that takes place in California, and you have a reasonably good idea of what is currently happening in Semien’s foot.
Semien has a good thing to be the most sustainable player in baseball today, with his 1,145 games since the start of the 2018 season, with 21 games, in second place Freddie Freeman. In baseball, current health is broadly predictive for future health, even for Hitters, and whether we call it a skill, Semien’s endurance is something that has brought a lot of value for his team, even in his smaller seasons.
Semien’s bat is not what it once was, but it was still welcome at the Rangers, who, outside a period of six weeks or so in Midsummer, had huge trouble scoring consistently. This season Texas scored two or fewer points in 49 games, the fifth in baseball, behind only the royals and three of the worst teams in the competition (the White Sox, Rockies and Pirates). Semien had a particularly brutal April, with a .182/.258/.245 line, but although he has since still linked his pre -season projections, it is to hit .244/.320/.400 more than respectable. I don’t randomly take this an optimistic piece of performance from Semien’s season; The projection systems all leave him about .720 Ops over the rest of the season, if not for the foot.
More importantly, Semien probably offered a better violation than anyone else, Texas has to play the second base for the rest of the year. We project Ezequizer Duran To get the vast majority of playing time in the play, and although he has had an excellent Augustus, even steamboat, as it concerns, predicts a bullish projection system, is still just a .676 Ops from him. Forty points from Ops is an important downgrade, and that is the weakest part of Semien’s game. Elsewhere on the Roster, Josh SmithThe services of the Outfield are needed and Zips do not project Cody Freeman To be better than Duran, with a .242/.288/.384 projection. A year ago I may have suggested that the Rangers just roll the dice and throw Justin Foscue Six weeks on the spot, but this year he only has a 105 WRC+ in Triple-A, and his bat should be what wears him.
From Monday morning, Zips will project the Semien-Less Rangers with a chance of 9.1% to make the play-offs, a decrease in a probability of 12.8% with a healthy semiien, which means that this injury has switched off just over a quarter of the Texas play-off scenarios. On 4 1/2 games behind the last Wild Card team, the Seattle Mariners, with 30 games to go, each extra loss has a significant impact on the fate of the Rangers.
The Rangers can still make the play – offs very good – baseball can sometimes be weird, and there is only so much that a player can do – but midnight tapped a little closer this weekend.
