PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. (AP) -Tampa Bay’s B.J. Upton was hit by a pitch on the left hand during a minor league game, however the Rays don’t believe it’s a serious injury.
X-rays were negative Saturday. The defending AL champions said the center fielder has a bone bruise and described his status as day to day. Upton has been limited throughout spring training while rehabbing from offseason shoulder surgery.
The 24-year-old played most of last year with an injured left shoulder that affected his production at the plate. He had surgery shortly after the World Series and has yet to appear in a major league exhibition this spring training.
