Melvin Upton Jr.: (Foot) Out At Least 6-8 Weeks

Upton's (foot) test results revealed inflammation in his left foot. He will be in a cast for two weeks followed by a walking boot for 4-6 weeks.

Analysis:

Upton's timetable indicates he will miss Opening Day, and could miss a couple weeks to begin the season. He will now begin the healing process, but will miss all of spring training, so he will need to knock off some of the rust when he finally returns from the injury.
