Texas Rangers right-hander Jon Gray had his start cut short Wednesday after taking a line drive off his left leg in the fifth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Rangers announced that Gray exited with a bruised left shin. X-rays were negative.

Gray had thrown four scoreless innings and recorded one out in the fifth when Rays leadoff man Yandy Diaz hit a 112-mph comebacker off Gray’s leg. Diaz was credited with an infield hit.

Rangers reliever Brock Burke replaced Gray, who gave up eight hits with four strikeouts over 4 1/3 innings.

Gray entered the game with a 6-5 record and 3.45 ERA in 17 starts.
