"Interim GM Jerry Dipoto just met with the media in the back of the press box about Upton's MRI

. It's good news. Here's what he said:

"I spoke with team doctor, Mike Lee, who informed me that the MRI looked good. Justin is suffering from a shoulder strain that dates back to an injury in 2006. It's no better or no worse than it was at that moment in time. It's just a strain that we're going to have to deal with. His status is day to day and we'll play it by ear. There's no reason to believe there's anything about this that is long term."

Having missed the past six games with a nagging shoulder injury, right fielder Justin Upton was sent for an MRI this morning, interim manager Kirk Gibson said.

Gibson said he hadn't heard the results yet, but this is the logical next step for such a slow-to-heal injury."
