Fri, 17 May 2013 20:18:28 -0700 Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez dropped OF B.J. Upton to the eighth spot of the lineup Friday, May 17, against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Upton responded by going hitless in four at-bats, dropping his season average to .141.
Tue, 14 May 2013 16:38:12 -0700 Atlanta Braves OF B.J. Upton (shoulder) is out of the lineup Tuesday, May 14, but he's available if needed. He said his shoulder wasn't as sore Tuesday, and he hopes to return Wednesday, May 15.
Tue, 14 May 2013 10:20:18 -0700 Atlanta Braves OF B.J. Upton (shoulder) was removed from the game in the seventh inning with a left shoulder contusion Monday, May 13, and he's listed as day-to-day.
Fri, 19 Apr 2013 20:43:24 -0700 Atlanta Braves OF B.J. Upton was ejected by the home plate umpire in the seventh inning Friday, April 19, against the Pittsburgh Pirates for arguing a called third strike.
Wed, 10 Apr 2013 11:36:08 -0700 Atlanta Braves OF Jason Heyward, who is hitting only .083, had the night off Tuesday, April 9. OF B.J. Upton went hitless and is batting .103. Fantasy Tip: Justin Upton is carrying both Heyward and Upton in the outfield to start the season. It's not uncommon to see players get off to horrible starts to begin the year. It isn't time to panic, but if you have other options, it may not be a bad idea to keep them out until you see a spark.
Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:50:05 -0700 Atlanta Braves SS Andrelton Simmons (thumb) is back in the lineup Monday, April 8, but OF B.J. Upton is in the leadoff spot. Simmons is hitting eighth against the Miami Marlins. Simmons went 3-for-17 with a double, walk, a stolen base and a .222 on-base percentage in four games in the leadoff spot. Upton was 3-for-6 with a home run, two stolen bases, three walks and no strikeouts in two games at leadoff over the weekend. Manager Fredi Gonzalez is playing it day-to-day with his lineup. Fantasy Tip: Gonzalez said moving Upton up to leadoff also made more sense with Freddie Freeman (oblique) on the disabled list. It's unknown if this will continue, but based off Upton's weekend performance, it's a good bet.
Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:36:34 -0700 Atlanta Braves OF B.J. Upton went 0-for-3 Thursday, April 4, and is hitless in 11 at-bats with six strikeouts with his new squad to start the year.
Thu, 04 Apr 2013 09:11:55 -0700 Tampa Bay Rays 3B Evan Longoria said the team is in a better place with SP James Shields and OF B.J. Upton gone. "There was a lot of history with B.J. and Shields and this organization, and I think there were some things that it was tough for them to get beyond," Longoria said. "As much as you try to instill the new way, some of those things, it was tough to get some of those thoughts out of their head. And so, I think, obviously they were great players, but as far as an over-arching belief in what we try to do here, I think with the new people that we have now, it's a completely new belief in what we're trying to do here."
Tue, 12 Feb 2013 08:01:59 -0800 Atlanta Braves OF B.J. Upton, OF Jason Heyward, 1B Freddie Freeman and 3B Juan Francisco are in camp early.
Tue, 29 Jan 2013 15:25:13 -0800 Updating a previous report, Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said OF Justin Upton will be the team's No. 3 hitter "no matter who is pitching against you." OF B.J. Upton and C Brian McCann will round out the middle of the order.
