San Diego Padres outfielder Justin Upton (neck strain) will miss the rest of the regular season, MLB.com's Corey Brock reports.

Analysis:

He still hasn't been cleared to swing a bat, and with the Padres well out of the playoff race and Upton about to hit free agency, it makes no sense for him to try to get back for one of the Padres' final three games. Upton will be one of the most sought after hitters on the market this winter.
