"Acquired in the Jason Bartlett trade with San Diego, RHP Adam Russell came into spring training hoping to get noticed.

Just not like this.

Russell caused the first major concern of camp when he drilled B.J. Upton with a fastball in the ribs during batting practice, sending him to the ground hard and fast. Upton was down for several minutes, but said aside from being sore — "It just hurt, bad" — he would be fine.

"Not a good way to make a first impression on a team," said Russell, the 6-foot-8 hard thrower. "I feel terrible about it. … You don't want that ever to happen again. You don't want to hit your own teammates, that's for damn sure."

Upton returned to complete the workout and said he won't miss any time.

"I just knew he hit me in the right spot to make it hurt," Upton said. "It will be a couple days before it's back to normal but it's nothing serious. It definitely could have been a lot worse, but it's nothing."

Manager Joe Maddon said it was hard not to think the worst, especially not knowing where Upton was hit.

"It was pretty firm," Maddon said. "He's swinging the bat so good right now, and I'm thinking here's this guy that's ready to roll and all of a sudden that's a setback. But it looks like he's going to be okay."

Upton said it was the first time, or even the second, that he was hit by a teammate during batting practice, that in 2003 in his first camp he was hit twice by veteran RHP Bob Wells on the same day."
