Mets second baseman Marcus Semien is expected to miss a minimum of four to six weeks after the latest tests on his injured hip, the New York Post reported Monday.

The three-time All-Star has been diagnosed with a Grade 3 left hip flexor strain, per the report. 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. He was acquired in an offseason trade that sent outfielder Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers.

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.

A career .252 hitter, Semien has 262 home runs, 830 RBIs and 145 stolen bases in 1,709 games with the Chicago White Sox (2013-14), Oakland Athletics (2015-20), Toronto Blue Jays (2021), Rangers (2022-25) and Mets. He won a World Series with Texas in 2023 and is a two-time Gold Glove winner.

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.
