Overview

• Christian Yelich was hit by a 90 mph sinker from Rangers starter Ranger Suarez in the first inning and removed for pinch-hitter Eric Haase in the third.
• X-rays on Yelich’s right hand were negative but swelling impaired his grip, prompting a day-to-day prognosis.
• Jake Bauers delivered a go-ahead two-run double in the seventh inning to secure a 5-2 victory over Philadelphia.
• Prior to the injury Yelich had gone 17-for-36 (.472) with five homers, 10 runs and 13 RBIs over his previous eight games.
• The 33-year-old is batting .233 this season with a team-leading 12 home runs and 39 RBIs after missing 81 games last year with a lower back injury.
