Eric Gagne Injured in Rangers Win


Texas Rangers closer Eric Gagne got one out in the ninth before leaving with a strained right hip. He landed awkwardly after releasing a pitch to Oakland Athletics' second baseman Mark Ellis before eventually limping off the field.

The 2003 NL Cy Young Award winner, who signed a one-year deal with the Rangers this offseason, pitched in only 14 games for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2005 before having season-ending surgery on his right elbow. Then, he appeared in just two games last year before having back surgery to end that season.

Rangers manager Ron Washington said Gagne is day-to-day and his status will be reevaluated Monday.

Update: Eric Gagne has indeed landed on the 15-day DL after being diagnosed with a hip injury.
