Mets' Marcus Semien sidelined 4-6 weeks due to hip flexor injury

New York Mets infielder Marcus Semien is expected to miss four to six weeks due to a Grade 3 hip flexor strain. This injury comes as the Mets struggle with player availability, having already dealt with absences from Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor earlier this season. Semien's absence is significant, even though he has a.214 batting average and had been struggling prior to his injury. Recovery may extend beyond the initial timeline, raising concerns about his availability through July and possibly the trade deadline on August 3.
