Aoki, 33, was hurt in the first inning of Saturday's game in Los Angeles when he got drilled just above his right ankle by a 94-mph Carlos Frias fastball. He limped around the bases and came out of the game before the bottom of the first inning, but he was initially diagnosed with just a lower leg contusion.
