Texas Rangers right-hander Jon Gray had his game on Saturday night cut short when his forearm was injured during the third inning of the Rangers’ 8-2 loss to the Houston Astros.
Gray’s forearm was bruised after being hit by a line drive. According to Rangers manager Bruce Bochy, Gray was left unable to see out the remainder of the game due to the growing numbness that he experienced in his arm after being hit.
Initially, it appeared as if Gray would see out the remainder of the game as he shook his arm off after being struck. Both Bochy and the team’s trainers came to check on Gray, after which Gray wiggled his fingers and threw a few warm-up pitches. He soon halted his throws, talking to the trainer before exiting the game.
Bochy revealed that despite Gray’s inability to play the remainder of the game, the player’s subsequent X-rays were negative, leaving Bochy hopeful that the right-handed starter will be able to return to action shortly.
