"Baseball players often talk about going to the plate with a clear head.

There was no doubt that Diamondbacks outfielder Justin Upton was able to do that Tuesday night after taking Monday off to be on the safe side following Sunday's game, in which he was hit on the bill of his helmet by a pitch.

"It was a precaution," Upton said. "There was nothing that I didn't pass. They just wanted to give me an extra day."

Upton had to retake the neurological test when he arrived at Chase Field on Tuesday, but he said the staff did not believe he had suffered a concussion from San Francisco pitcher Tim Lincecum's first-inning fastball.

Upton took his base and came around to score but felt nauseous between innings and was pulled.

Then Upton was pulled from the game in the 10th inning Tuesday after beinghit in the face by a batted ball.

He was roaming back to try to field a fly hit by the Dodgers' A.J. Ellis but got smacked in the right side of his face after the ball caromed off the fence in right."
