Receiving afternoon off Semien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Semien will sit for the second time in four games as the Mets open up a spot at the keystone for Brett Baty in the series finale. Though the 35-year-old Semien is under contract through 2028, the Mets could nonetheless choose to give him more frequent off days down the stretch while he's struggled to a career-worst 209/.269/.354 batting line during his first season in Queens.

Receiving night off Semien is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact The Mets will give Semien a breather after he started in each of the last 10 games while slashing .222/.310/.417 with two home runs, one steal, six RBI and six runs during that stretch. Brett Baty will replace Semien at second base and will bat eighth.

Goes yard again Friday Semien went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's win over the Pirates.

Impact He took Carmen Mlodzinski deep in the third inning, giving the Mets a 5-0 lead they were able to hold onto in an eventual 6-4 win. Semien has homered in back-to-back games, and his bat is showing signs of life late in the year -- over his last 12 contests, the 35-year-old is batting .306 (11-for-36) with four homers, two steals, 10 runs and 10 RBI.

On base four times Thursday Semien went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Thursday's win over the Guardians.

Impact The veteran second baseman got the Mets on the board in the second inning with a solo shot off Foster Griffin, Semien's fourth long ball in the last 14 games and his 13th of the season. During that stretch, he's compiled a strong .262/.347/.571 slash line with two steals, eight RBI and 10 runs, as Semien tries to salvage his first campaign for New York. Despite the recent success at the plate, his .633 OPS on the season is still tracking toward being the worst mark of his career.

AUGUST 2 • Associated Press

Not in Friday's lineup Semien is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Semien has now started only one of the last four games versus right-handed pitching. It's unlikely Semien will fall into a strict short-side platoon, but he could continue to cede reps at second base to Brett Baty in a lost season for the Mets.

On bench for first game of day Semien is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with Atlanta.

Goes deep for second straight game Semien went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk and scored two additional runs in Monday's 14-3 win against Atlanta.

Impact Semien's blast was a 424-foot, two-run shot in the sixth inning that broke a 3-3 tie. It was his second homer in as many games and his third over his past five contests. Semien also logged his first multi-hit performance over his past 13 games, snapping what had been an ugly 4-for-43 stretch at the plate. He's batting just .214 on the campaign, but with 12 homers through 88 contests, Semien is only three shy of the 15 long balls he swatted across 127 regular-season contests last year.

Provides pinch-hit homer Sunday Semien went 1-for-1 with a pinch-hit three-run home run in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Semien entered as a pinch hitter for Luis Robert in the seventh inning and promptly launched a three-run homer to extend New York's lead. He has now homered twice over his last four games, though those long balls account for two of his only three hits in seven contests since returning from the injured list. Semien is batting just .207 with a .607 OPS across 87 games this season.

Idle Sunday Semien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Semien appears to be receiving a routine day off after he went 2-for-14 with a solo home run and a walk while starting in the Mets' previous four games. Brett Baty will step in for Semien at second base and will bat eighth Sunday.
