ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 Texas Rangers first baseman Jake Burger left Saturday night\u2019s game against the Los Angeles Angels after four innings with a left wrist contusion after being hit by a pitch in the third inning by Angels starter Ryan Johnson.<\/p>\n

X-rays were negative, and he\u2019s listed as day to day, the team said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat got him good. He\u2019s pretty swollen, pretty sore,\u201d Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said after the game, won by the Angels, 3-0. \u201cSo far, the X-rays are negative. But we\u2019ll probably get more scans, and he\u2019ll see the doctor later tonight. But it squared him up pretty good.<\/p>\n

\u201cHad a tough time swinging the bat when he went down to see if he could still stay in. Burger\u2019s one of the toughest guys I\u2019ve ever been around. So if he\u2019s not able to go back in, you knew it was pretty sore.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burger has hit 21 home runs this season, one short of Joc Pederson\u2019s club lead, and leads the Rangers with 73 RBIs.<\/p>\n
