Arizona Republic "The weirdest part will probably be the beginning, when he walks into Chase Field as an away player for the first time and steps foot in the visitors’ clubhouse.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Justin Upton is told it has to be about the coolest thing in the world to play big-league baseball with his brother B.J. But he redirects that line of inquiry.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Two pitches after Jason Heyward lined a home run over the right-field fence in the fourth inning Monday, Justin Upton hit one over everything in left field at Champion Stadium.
