The Rangers did not release results of X-rays on his right wrist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Semien, who turns 35 in September, fouled the first pitch he saw Thursday off his foot and left the game two innings later. The Rangers said X-rays showed no fracture, but, according to Semien, there is concern over how the spring ligament in his foot will respond. Semien said he was told the force of the ball hitting his foot compressed the ligament under his arch and thus stretched it out. He will undergo an MRI exam on Friday to determine the extent of the damage.<\/p>\n<article id=\"related-story-embed-AACLPPO7URGDZJM4T26UOEGBPE\" data-oembed-type=\"related-story\" class=\"dmnc_features-article-body-embeds-related-story-module__8iRXq block w-full inline-block my-2 p-7 bg-gray-lighter border border-gray-light ignore-body-text secondaryBold secondaryBold-7\"><label class=\"dmnc_features-article-body-embeds-related-story-module__dzAkK pr-3 text-blue-dark\">Related:<\/label><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"dmnc_features-article-body-embeds-related-story-module__82BFj\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sports\/rangers\/2025\/08\/21\/texas-rangers-kansas-city-royals-playoffs-wild-card-bruce-bochy-patrick-corbin\/\">Rangers\u2019 disastrous road trip appears to be final nail in coffin for Texas\u2019 playoff hopes<\/a><\/article>\n<div class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-cta-social-module__YgCAW md_pb-9 md_mb-7 md_pt-9 md_mt-7 pb-6 mb-9 px-9 w-full h-64 bg-blue-light border-t border-b border-gray-light pt-6 mt-9\">\n<div class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-cta-social-module__P1yIN inline-flex col-span-1 row-span-1 pb-4\">\n<div class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-cta-social-module__vRSrF flex-auto w-full\">\n<p>Rangers<\/p>\n<p class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-cta-social-module__zWZy- mb-4\">Be the smartest Rangers fan.

I could not even walk without pain.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">After the at-bat, Semien did manage to play defense for two innings and still stood in the middle of what should have been a game-changing play &#8211; a relay from right fielder Josh Smith to third baseman Cody Freeman to catch Tyler Tolbert trying to stretch a double to a triple. The play ended the Royals\u2019 second inning. <\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">When the Rangers came to bat in the top of the third and Semien\u2019s spot arrived, Ezequiel Duran pinch hit for him with two on and no outs. Duran fouled out to pitcher Michael Lorenzen. <\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Carter was hit by left-handed Daniel Lynch IV on his right (front) wrist in the seventh. He remained in the game to run the bases and played, but was replaced in the field in the bottom of the eighth. <\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">\u201cIn the moment, you\u2019ve got some
