ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo left Tuesday night’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the sixth inning with an apparent left ankle injury.
Nimmo’s left foot hit the edge of first baseman Ildemaro Vargas’ foot as he tried to leg out an infield single and he came up limping. He stayed in the game for a few pitches, but was eventually replaced by pinch-runner Sam Haggerty.
The Rangers were up 7-1 on the Diamondbacks when the injury occurred and Nimmo went 3 for 4 with a triple.
Nimmo is batting .276 this season for the Rangers with four home runs and 12 RBIs.
