Upton (foot) expects to receive clearance Friday to shed his protective boot, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

Upton has been confined to the boot for the last five weeks while recovering from sesamoiditis in his left foot. He still needs to slowly ramp up his activity level in the comings weeks, making it highly unlikely that he joins the Braves any sooner than May. Even mid-to-early May would probably be pushing it, as Upton missed nearly all of spring training.
