Justin Upton Stats

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (back) is unlikely to return before the end of the season, according to Angels manager Joe Maddon. The 34-year-old veteran has been out since September 1 due to a right lumbar strain. Maddon told reporters that Upton's back has been bothering him for most of the second half of the year. Maddon has certainly been the bearer of bad news lately. Last week, he told reporters that he didn't expect to see Mike Trout (calf) or Jo Adell (abdomen) back this year. Upton had an uneven 2021 season. Over 89 games, he slashed .211/.296/.409 with 17 home runs, 41 RBI and 47 runs.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The 34-year-old outfielder was scratched from Saturday's game due to back discomfort. A day later, the organization has decided to place Upton on the injured list for at least 10 days. Before getting injured, Upton was hitting .211 with 17 home runs for the Angels this season. He doesn't offer much upside in fantasy leagues outside of his power numbers. Kean Wong has been recalled to take his spot on the active roster.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (back) was not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers. He continues to deal with nagging injuries, which have hindered him all season long. Upton tried to play on Saturday, but back spasms stopped him from getting into the lineup. There really isn't much upside from Upton right now anyway. He has decent power with 17 home runs, but won't offer much outside of that. Most fantasy managers can find a better option right now.
