Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts exited Sunday's game with the Texas Rangers in the bottom of the second inning with an apparent injury.

Betts was drilled in the shoulder with an errant throw while sliding into second base. He was attended to by the training staff, remained in the game, and would bat again in the top of the second, but was eventually replaced by Blake Swihart.

He was later diagnosed with a right shoulder contusion, according to The Boston Globe's Pete Abraham.

Betts entered the afternoon hitting .352/.433/.824 with 13 home runs and 12 doubles in 29 games.
