With a record of 69-65 and 28 games left to play this season, the Angels are only one game out of playoff position. Upton would replace Cameron Maybin in left field. The Angels ceded Maybin to the Houston Astros, an American League West rival that claimed him on revocable waivers. In exchange for Upton, the Angels would part with minor league right-hander Grayson Long, according to the person with knowledge of the situation. The Angels acquired Maybin from Detroit before this season.
