Marcus Semien has been diagnosed with a Grade 3 strain of his left hip flexor, indicating a significant muscle tear, and is expected to be out for at least 4-6 weeks. His performance this season has suffered, with personal lows in batting statistics and an increase in errors, particularly in throwing. Brett Baty is filling in at second base, while the Mets may eventually move Semien to the 60-day injured list. Semien is under contract for two more seasons, set to earn $26MM in 2024 and $20MM in 2028.
