Makes spring debut Semien went 0-for-2 in Friday's spring game against the Royals. Impact Semien, one of two major free-agent acquisitions during the offseason, made his Cactus League debut Friday, batting atop the lineup. He was followed in the order by the team's other major free-agent signing, Corey Seager. The Rangers traded their primary leadoff hitter from last season, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, so Semien should be viewed as a leadoff option. He mostly batted first or second for the Blue Jays in 2021.
