Markakis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's matinee against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty has gone 3-for-19 in five games since the All-Star break, lowering his monthly batting average to a measly .200. Danny Santana will fill in as the starting right fielder, but it's probably safe to expect Markakis back in the lineup Thursday, when the team begins an 11-game road trip.
