EDGE Analysis

If everything goes off without a hitch during Wednesday's live bullpen session -- his first since suffering a fractured wrist near the end of July -- Markakis could be cleared to rejoin the Braves ahead of Friday's series opener against the Nationals. Prior to landing on the shelf, the veteran outfielder compiled a .284/.358/.429 slash line with nine home runs and 55 RBI in 104 games.
