Manager Joe Maddon said Wednesday that Upton (back) likely won't be activated until after the All-Star break, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Upton landed on the IL with a right lower-back strain June 25. There were rumblings over the past weekend that the outfielder was hoping to return as early as last Saturday, but Maddon said his recovery "hasn't progressed like (he) thought it would." The 33-year-old will likely miss the remaining four games prior to next week's break, but the club will hope to have him back when it resumes play July 16.

Manager Joe Maddon was hopeful Upton would be able to rejoin the active roster for the series finale versus the Orioles, but apparently the veteran outfielder isn't "quite ready" Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Upton is eligible to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, but manager Joe Maddon said that the outfielder could be back in action as early as Sunday. The 33-year-old has been dealing with a lower-back strain since June 22, but he should reclaim an everyday role for the Angels once he's activated. In his 10 games prior to his absence, Upton hit .325 with three doubles, 10 runs, three RBI, a stolen base and seven walks.

EDGE Analysis

Upton has been on the 10-day injured list since June 25 due to a lower-back strain, though the move was backdated to June 22. He wasn't initially expected to need to move to the IL, and it sounds like he is feeling better given the possibility of a minimum stay. Prior to going on the shelf, Upton had enjoyed a strong month of June, slashing .338/.463/.631 with four homers, 11 RBI, a stolen base and a 15:18 BB:K.

EDGE Analysis

Upton's placement on the IL comes as a bit of a surprise given that manager Joe Maddon said earlier Friday that he anticipated the outfielder returning to the lineup either Saturday or Sunday. Per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register, the decision to place him on the IL was a result of the outfielder feeling worse after getting to the ballpark Friday. The move to the injured list is retroactive to Wednesday, leaving Upton eligible to be reinstated July 3, though he may need additional time on the shelf.

Upton remains out of the lineup for the second straight game Friday after exiting Tuesday's loss to the Giants with lower-back tightness.
