| Breaking News |  | Friday, September 10th, 2021: Justin Upton to Miss 2 Weeks
It took the Baltimore team doctor a while to realize it, but shortstop Justin Upton won't simply play through a dislocated finger after he got hurt being hit by a pitch in today's Yankees-Orioles game. At first, it looked like Upton might be back as early as tomorrow, but now the prognosis isn't quite so good; he's expected to miss at least 2 weeks. A spokesman for the club described the loss of Upton as a blow, but was confident that he'd be back soon.
This year Upton has batted at a .260 pace with 136 hits, 20 home runs, 69 RBIs and scored 85 times.
