News about Marcus Semien

The Athletics bid farewell to Oakland in an emotional 3-2 win over the Texas Rangers on Thursday at the Coliseum, where one fan celebrated a remarkable milestone. The unidentified man in green Oakland A's gear was seen in the stands behind home plate with his back to the field and holding a handmade sign. 'I was here for the 1st pitch in 1968!' the message began. 'I'm here for the last pitch in 2024!' Not every fan in Oakland on Thursday was feeling so sentimental. One person ran onto the field in the top of the ninth, delaying the inevitable final out for several minutes before security took care of business.

Major League Baseball said on Thursday that the two-time World Series champion will rest his left hand, which has been sore since he was hit by a 94.3 mph slider from a Twins pitcher on July 5. 'Obviously, we have a very important second half of the season that I really want to be healthy (for),' the star slugger before the All-Star game.

In his spring training debut against the Texas Rangers, Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto struck out three batters in two scoreless innings. Yamamoto gave a glimpse into why the Dodgers think the Japanese right-hander will be an ace of a big-league rotation. The 25-year-old right jhand opened by striking out all-Star Marcus Semien on six pitches, then gave up Evan Carter's single before Wyatt Langford grounded into an inning-ending double play.

While players make their way around Arlington and other parts of the Dallas-Fort Worth area before addressing fans at Globe Life Field to conclude the festivities, the parade is anticipated to last hours. The Rangers won their first championship in their 63rd season as a franchise, starting as the expansion Washington Senators in 1961 before the team moved to Texas, 11 years later in 1972.

The Texas Rangers' expenses for 2023 will be much higher than the team's $252.6 million active payroll, thanks to their World Series victory. According to Front Office Sports, the Rangers are expected to have a $100 million-plus postseason roster, which could increase the franchise's annual income to more than $350 million. Texas defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday evening to clinch their first championship, but Major League baseball has yet to announce the players pool for postseason awards and shares per player.

For the first time in franchise history, the Texas Rangers won the World Series after pitcher Nathan Eovaldi pitched six scoreless innings and the Arizona Diamondbacks collapsed late on Game 5. After Eovaldi's impressive performance on the mound, the Rangers rode to Chase Field with a 3-1 lead on Wednesday night and Mitch Garver's RBI single in the top of the seventh put them ahead. Despite a raucous home crowd, the Diamondbacks were unable to keep up, and the team collapsed in the ninth to allow the Rangers three straight hits, which resulted in two more runs, to put them in clear air.

Marcus Semien went 3-for-3 with a homer prior to his suspension in the fifth innings, and Adolis Garcia captained a seven-run deluge with a grand slam in the same frame as the Texas Rangers avoided a series of sweeps with a 13-5 pummeling of the host Houston Astros on Wednesday. In the fourth and fifth innings, the Rangers extended their lead in the American League West to two games over the Astros by inflicting devastating two-out attacks, first against Houston ace Framber Valdez (8-7), and then off reliever Seth Martinez.

As New York's air quality index reaches a 185 rating due to smoke overtaking the sky as a result of Canadian wildfires, the Yankees took the field in potentially volatile weather. On Tuesday, thick smoke from the north descended on New York City, with an orange glow hanging above the iconic skyline, covering the Statue of Liberty's famed monuments. The Bronx was no exception, as the sky over Yankee Stadium glowed a mix of orange and dark grey.

Liam Hendricks returned to the majors after winning the White Sox's bizarre victory over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. Yoán Moncada scampered home on a 10th-inning wild pitch that knocked out umpire Cory Blaser, bringing the Chicago White Sox to a 2-1 victory. Hendriks pitched a 1-2-3 seventh inning in his second game of the season after recovering from stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

In a 4-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals, Jacob deGrom left with a sore right wrist after pitching four innings. Josh Jung launched a three-run homer in the first and Marcus Semien added a solo shot in the third. In 4 1/3 innings of relief, Dane Dunning (1-0) struck out five runs out of place. Matt Duffy's one-out single in the fifth off Dunning was Kansas City's only hit. José Leclerc got two outs to bring it to an end.

Jacob deGrom took the field for the Texas Rangers on Thursday in perhaps the best news of spring training. Since committing a five-year, $185 million contract with the club back in December, the two-time National League Cy Young champion had been fighting exhaustion on his left side. The Rangers have been pinning their postseason hopes on the arrival of deGrom, but the 34-year-old suffered with shoulder injuries in 2022, causing concerns about his future availability. deGrom threw between 20 and 25 pitches off the mound on Thursday, which is a normal workload at the start of spring training.

Jacob deGrom, a star pitcher, has joined the Texas Rangers on a five-year contract, according to the AL West team's announcement on Friday night. According to ESPN, the right-handed pitcher's deal from the 2027-1927 season, who was in free agency, was worth $185 million. According to the paper, the agreement could be extended to a sixth year and include a complete no-trade clause in case of a surprise acquisition. The New York Yankees, a Mets rival, who needed medical assistance last week, the Atlanta Braves, as well as his old team, were all linked to deGrom this offseason.

After two World Series appearances in the Texas Rangers' first 17 years, Jon Daniels is out as president of baseball operations, perhaps ending his tenure with a string of losing seasons. Daniels was being relieved of his duties immediately after the decision was not made not to renew his deal at the end of this year, according to team owner Ray Davis. Daniels was fired in his fourth season just two days after being fired. It came less than nine months after the Rangers decided to sign free agent infielders Corey Seager and Marcus Semien, as well as starting pitcher Jon Gray. When Daniels took over the Rangers at age 28, he was the youngest general manager ever to be in the majors.

Chris Woodward, the Texas Rangers' general manager, was dissatisfied with the team's decision after spending over $500,000. Rangers finished third in the AL West standings in the American league, with a 51-63 record, 24 behind the Houston Astros. The two signings, Corey Seager and Marcus Semien, raised hopes - their totals exceeded $500 million, while Seager's contract reached the $325 million mark.
