Mets second baseman Marcus Semien is expected to miss a minimum of four to six weeks after the latest tests on his injured hip, according to the New York Post. Semien has been diagnosed with a Grade 3 left hip flexor strain.
He landed on the 10-day injured list Thursday after initially trying to play through the injury. Semien, 35, is batting .214 with nine home runs and 29 RBIs through 80 games in his first season with New York.
In his extended absence, the Mets are expected to continue using Brett Baty as their primary second baseman with Ronny Mauricio also in the mix. Semien played in both games of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs and committed two of the team’s six errors in the second contest.
