Justin Upton (quad) scratched from Tigers' lineup
Detroit Tigers outfielder Justin Upton was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies due to right quad tightness.
What It Means:
Steven Moya will start in his place in left field and bat sixth against righty Vince Velasquez. Upton is already off to a miserable start at the plate (.223 with a .589 OPS and 66 strikeouts in 44 games), so an injury isn't going to help matters.
Our models currently project Upton to hit .237/.317/.413 with 15 long balls and 50 RBI's, while also stealing 10 bases over the remainder of the season. We expect him to post a .315 wOBA in 431 plate appearances.
