Tampa Bay Rays designated hitter John Jaso suffered a left wrist contusion sliding into second base in the first inning of Monday’s season opener against the Baltimore Orioles.

X-rays were negative, but Jaso left the game and was replaced by David DeJesus, who batted in the third inning.

Jaso, batting leadoff for the Rays, walked in his only plate appearance.
