Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis was 3-for-4 with an RBI during a 4-3 win over the Miami Marlins on Sunday. The 35-year-old has been getting on base at a steady clip over his last 30 games, slashing .315/.353/.486 with four home runs and 22 RBI. Markakis is a fantastic contact hitter with a keen eye at the plate. He now has 51 RBI on the season and continues to bat in the top half of the Braves' lineup. Markakis can be rolled out on a nightly basis in all formats with 10 or more teams.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. The veteran outfielder will get a routine day off here. Charlie Culberson will slide over to right field and bat eighth versus lefty Steven Matz. Culberson hasn't seen much playing time lately, and isn't someone worth looking at in terms of fantasy leagues.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis was 2-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored during a 12-3 win over the New York Mets on Monday. The 35-year-old is slashing .275/.365/.420 with six home runs, 39 RBI, and 48 runs scored this season. Markakis is still a highly serviceable bat in the latter stages of his career. He plays in one of the premier lineups in the National League and is capable of producing runs. He is worthy of ownership in almost all formats.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis was 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two runs scored, and two walks in a 7-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. Markakis is batting .348 with six RBI over his past seven games. The veteran outfielder is slashing .278/.370/.439 on the season with six HRs, 41 runs, and 34 RBI. Markakis is unlikely to repeat the gaudy numbers he produced last season, but he is still a viable fantasy asset that is surrounded by a fantastic lineup.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis was 4-for-5 with a home run and four RBI during a 13-7 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday. The veteran outfielder has had an up-and-down season at the plate, as he only had 11 RBI in his previous 36 games before this contest. Markakis owns a .276/.365/.425 slash line on the season to go along with five home runs and 33 RBI. It is unlikely that Markakis reaches the lofty offensive numbers he put up a season ago, but he is still worthy of a roster sp[...]

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. This will be a routine day off for the veteran outfielder. Matt Joyce will cover right field and bat eighth versus righty Pablo Lopez. Joyce has been decent with the bat, but won't be a trustworthy option for Sunday.

It's June 9, an exciting date to some, because it means another Cut List. ([...]

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The Braves will give Markakis the day off against the left-handed starter. Switch hitting Johan Camargo will play right field and bat seventh versus lefty Matthew Boyd. Camargo won't have much fantasy value against Boyd in this one.

Welcome to June, and to something a little different this week, although it may end up a one-week affair. Today we suggest a couple cuts each at varying league sizes: 10, 12, and 14-15 teams. Recommendations in one league size obviously apply to smaller leagues. You can also feel free to drop a shallower suggestion in a deeper league. Generally, however, the dividing line is there for a reason.Stats are through Friday, May 31. The usual weekly notes do not apply, of course. Also, the [...]
