The New York Mets placed Marcus Semien on the injured list with a hip injury, adding another setback to a difficult 2026 season for the club.
The 35-year-old Semien has appeared in 80 games for the Mets this season, posting a .214 batting average with 9 home runs, 29 RBI, and an OPS of .613 across 290 at-bats. He has also contributed 6 stolen bases and scored 30 runs in what has been a down year offensively for the veteran.
New York enters this stretch sitting last in the NL East with a 34-47 record, 15 games back of the division lead and riding a six-game losing streak. The Mets' roster currently carries 13 pitchers, 7 infielders, 3 outfielders, 2 catchers, and 1 designated hitter. Losing Semien further strains an already thin infield group.
Semien is tracking toward 300 career home runs, currently sitting at 262 with 38 remaining to reach that milestone.
