LA Angels Justin Upton plays field for 1st time drives in two in rehab.

When LA Angels outfielder Justin Upton got hurt in the third-to-last Spring Training game running into the wall chasing down a fly ball vs. the LA Dodgers at the Big “A”. The diagnosis was turf toe, which due to the severity of the injury was expected to keep Upton out 10 to 12 weeks. If all goes well we could see Justin Upton back after 11 weeks as his looks to be on track to rejoin the team on their next road trip which will be the longest o the season 3 cities and 11 days.

On Saturday night Upton played the field for first time since that fateful March evening (March 24th) and had no issues, making two plays in the field and going 1-for-2 at the plate with a walk and two RBIs.
