Rangers closer Luke Jackson exits after comebacker hits hand

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texas closer Luke Jackson took a 111-mph comeback liner off his pitching hand on the only pitch he threw after coming on in the ninth inning of the Rangers' 2-1 win over the Colorado Rockies on Monday night.

Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said X-rays were negative, but that the right hand "swelled up pretty good." He said a stint on the injured list was certainly a possibility, but that the Rangers would know more Tuesday.

Ryan McMahon was leading off the ninth when he hit the ball right back at Jackson.
