Justin Upton did not start against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday because of a bruised lower back.

Upton was hurt when he was hit by a pitch from Jeff Samardzija on Saturday night. He had to leave the game.

The Atlanta Braves used Ryan Doumit in Upton's place.

The 26-year-old is hitting .296/.378/.576 with nine home runs and 19 RBIs this season.
