LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton will open the season on the injured list because of a sore right big toe.
Manager Brad Ausmus announced the injury Tuesday. He says Upton has "turf toe" and that no timetable has been determined for his return. Upton was injured in Sunday's exhibition game against the Los Angeles Dodgers when he bumped into the left-field wall while chasing a fly ball.
Upton had just returned after missing most of spring training because of tendinitis in his right knee.
Ausmus said Peter Bourjos will likely see more playing time until Upton returns, but he is still waiting to solidify a plan moving forward.
