Markakis is not in the lineup Sunday against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Markakis has failed to collect a hit in his last 19 at-bats and will be on the bench Sunday. Marcell Ozuna will shift out of the designated hitter role to play in left field and bat fourth in his place.

Markakis went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and a walk in Monday's 6-3 win over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Markakis got the Braves offense started with an RBI double in the first inning. He later tacked on an insurance run with a single in the sixth. The 36-year-old outfielder is slashing .368/.429/.596 with 10 extra-base hits this season.

Markakis went 3-for-5 with a two-RBI double, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's 12-10 win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Markakis gave the Braves an 8-0 lead in the second inning with his double, and he came around to score on Austin Riley's homer. Through 17 games this season, Markakis is batting .340 with a homer, nine RBI, seven runs scored and nine doubles.

Markakis (illness) was activated from the injured list and is starting in right field and batting sixth Tuesday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

With Cristian Pache getting sent down in a corresponding move, Markakis should resume a prominent role with a Braves lineup that is now close to full strength. Ronald Acuna returns Tuesday as well, so the team is just without Ozzie Albies (wrist) among its regulars.

The Braves are expected to activate Markakis from the COVID-19 injured list ahead of their two-game set with the Yankees that begins Tuesday, Buster Olney of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markakis was placed on the IL last week after informing that he may have been in contact with someone who was exposed to the coronavirus, but the outfielder is never believed to have tested positive for COVID-19. Assuming he clears all health-related protocols, Markakis should step back into a near-everyday role in the Atlanta outfield. Before being shut down, Markakis was slashing .353/.421/.618 with seven extra-base hits (six doubles, one home run) in 38 plate appearances.

Markakis was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday after being potentially exposed to the virus, though he has tested negative to this point.

EDGE Analysis

The move was made out of an "abundance of caution," and Markakis could rejoin the team relatively quickly if he continues to produce negative test results. Christian Pache, one of the organization's top prospects, was recalled for outfield depth with Ronald Acuna (wrist) also unavailable.

Markakis went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and one strikeout in Sunday's win against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Despite seeing inconsistent time in the starting lineup in recent games, Markakis has swung a hot bat as he now has four doubles over the past six games. The 36-year-old has been effective since returning to the team, with a .912 OPS, five extra-base hits and five RBI over 11 games.

Markakis isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Markakis went 3-for-8 with two doubles and two runs over the past two games, but he'll retreat to the bench Saturday with southpaw Daniel Castano on the mound for Miami. Adam Duvall will take over in right field.

Markakis is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Markakis started against five straight righties after re-entering the lineup last week, but he'll sit against lefty Jordan Montgomery here. It may take more than just one game to determine whether or not he's truly limited to a platoon role, however. Marcell Ozuna moves to right field for the first time in his absence, with Travis d'Arnaud resting his legs as the designated hitter.

Markakis went 1-for 4 with a walk-off home run against the Blue Jays on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

With the score tied in the ninth, Markakis took the first pitch he saw from Wilmer Font and launched his second career walk-off home run. The long ball was the first of the year for the 36-year-old, who was making his first start after he had originally decided to opt out of the season. The Braves reinstated Markakis (personal) from the restricted list Wednesday.
