HOUSTON -- Texas Rangers' right-hander Jon Gray left Saturday night's game against the Houston Astros in the third inning after being hit on his throwing elbow by a line drive.

The team said he had a bruised right forearm and would continue to be monitored.

There were no outs in the bottom of the third when Houston catcher Yainer Diaz hit a comebacker that bounced off Gray's elbow.

He shook his arm and winced right after being hit and before manager Bruce Bochy and a trainer came to the mound to check on him.
