Justin Upton expected to return Saturday

Braves outfielder Justin Upton, who is out of the starting lineup Friday due to a hnad contusion, is expected to return to the lineup Saturday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Upton was 2 for 2 before being struck in the hand by a pitch Thursday, but the injury isn't costing him much time if he can return Saturday. He remains day-to-day.
