Justin Upton News
Seattle Mariners outfielder Justin Upton isn't in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday for a matchup with the San Diego Padres and right-hander Mike Clevinger. The veteran outfielder is batting .122 with a .234 on-base percentage and a home run in 47 plate appearances with the Mariners this season. Instead, it'll be Dylan Moore getting the start in right field. Moore is hitting eighth against the Padres and could be worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues where on-base percentage is part of the scoring. The 29-year-old is batting .171 with a .336 on-base percentage, four home runs, and 10 stolen bases in 142 plate appearances this season.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Justin Upton (head) was hit in his helmet by a fastball from Los Angeles Angels starter Michael Lorenzen on Friday. He was promptly removed from the game after the incident. According to Mariners manager Scott Servais, Upton never lost consciousness. He was communicating with trainers while he was being looked over. Servais is hopeful that Upton can be utilized as the team's designated hitter on Saturday. Friday was Upton's debut with the Mariners and he went 0-for-2 with a strikeout and the aforementioned hit-by-pitch in the contest.
The Seattle Mariners are calling up veteran outfielder Justin Upton from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday in time to face his old team, the Los Angeles Angels. In a corresponding move, Sam Haggerty has been optioned to Tacoma. The Angels released Upton before the start of the regular season, and he was hitting just .200/.289/.378 with two home runs, six RBI and eight runs scored in 12 games for Tacoma before his call-up. The 34-year-old is no longer the power threat he was earlier in his career, but he should see at least semi-regular playing time while sharing time in right field with Taylor Trammell. Upton finished with a .211/.296/.409 slash line with 17 long balls, 41 RBI, 47 runs scored and four stolen bases in 89 games with the Angels last year.
