Angels outfielder Justin Upton was hurt when he hyper-extended his left big toe while bracing himself on the low wall in the left-field corner Sunday against the Dodgers.
“He was using his foot as a braking mechanism, and his toe hit the wall. We’re still gathering all of the imaging and getting it looked at by a bunch of experts. We can’t talk about a timeline, but he will start the year on the IL.”
Upton, who hit .257 with an .808 on-base-plus-slugging percentage, 30 home runs and 85 RBIs last season, battled right-knee tendinitis all spring and did not make his Cactus League debut until March 19. He has one hit in seven at-bats in five spring games. With Upton out, speedy veteran Peter Bourjos, who signed a minor-league deal in November with an eye toward earning a reserve outfield spot, likely will open the season in left field.
Bourjos, who was added to the 40-man roster after Tuesday night’s exhibition finale against the Dodgers, hit .283 with an .897 OPS, three homers, three doubles and 10 RBIs in 20 spring games. The Angels reassigned first baseman Matt Thaiss, who had three hits including two doubles on Tuesday night, infielder Wilfredo Tovar and catcher Roberto Pena to minor league camp. … Ausmus said Shohei Ohtani, who is recovering from elbow surgery, will take batting practice outside “very soon.”The best, most interesting and strangest stories of the day from the L.A. sports scene and beyond.
