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. The ball struck the pitcher's hand and popped up in the air before falling to the ground on what became an infield single.
