Upton is not at risk to be moved down the batting order despite his struggles at the plate so far this season, reports the Detroit Free Press.

Analysis:

Upton is hitting .227/.261/.333 with one home run, three RBI and 27 strikeouts in 66 at bats this season. He has struck out at least once in each of the 16 games in which he has appeared. "He's got a pretty good track record over the course of 500 plate appearances of putting up pretty consistent numbers," manager Brad Ausmus said of Upton. "I'm not going to, after two weeks of games, change the game plan. Two weeks of games where he hasn't hit like he normally hits. That's what in this game they call panicking." Ausmus' confidence in his player is well and good, but fantasy owners need to bench Upton until there are more signs of offensive life.
