ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The hard collision between slugger Joey Gallo and reliever Matt Bush on Sunday afternoon has knocked Bush (knee sprain) to the disabled list. Both were placed into MLB's concussion protocol after the collision. Gallo also suffered a nasal fracture.

The Rangers recalled outfielder Ryan Rua from Triple-A Round Rock and purchased the contract of right-handed reliever Nick Gardewine from Double-A Frisco to replace them.

Gallo began Monday tied for second in the AL in home runs with Kansas City's Mike Moustakas at 35. They were two behind New York's Aaron Judge. Gallo and Seattle's Nelson Cruz each have 14 home runs since the All-Star break to lead the AL.
