Markakis (wrist) was activated off the 10-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Markakis went down in late July with a fractured left wrist but is ready to rejoin the Braves for the final couple weeks of the regular season. The 35-year-old had a .284/.358/.429 slash line with nine home runs and 55 RBI through 104 games prior to suffering the injury. He'll start in left field and bat fifth in his return to the lineup.

Markakis (wrist) is scheduled to take live batting practice Wednesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

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.

Markakis (wrist) will hit in a simulated game next week, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markakis has been out with a fractured wrist since late July but appears to be making good progress. If all goes well, he could return to action next weekend.

Markakis (wrist) has started throwing, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markakis fractured his left wrist (his throwing arm) in late July, so the fact he's resumed throwing is a major step in his recovery. It was reported last week that the 35-year-old was ahead of schedule in his recovery, and a return in mid-September still appears on the table.

Manager Brian Snitker said Friday that Markakis is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a broken wrist, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Further details regarding Markakis' status were not disclosed, but this report would seem to indicate he will be able to return to action in mid-September as anticipated, and possibly earlier than he would have otherwise. With fellow outfielder Ender Inciarte (hamstring) also sidelined, expect the duo of Matt Joyce and Charlie Culberson to continue platooning in right field for now.

Markakis continues to sport a cast to protect his fractured left wrist but remains optimistic that he'll be able to return from the 10-day injured list in mid-September, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. "That goal would be awesome, to be [back] mid-September. It could be sooner; it could be later. It's hard to tell. It's all about how I heal up. All I can say is we're staying on top of it and trying to heal up as quick as I can."

EDGE Analysis

Markakis fractured his left wrist when he was hit by a pitch July 26 in Philadelphia but elected not to undergo surgery, which would have necessitated a longer recovery timetable. As it stands, Markakis' injury still requires around 6-to-8 weeks to heal, so he's likely around a month away from rejoining Atlanta even if he hits no snags in his rehab. The cast has prevented Markakis from resuming baseball activities, but he's still been traveling and working out with the team to ensure he'll be ready to ramp things up when he receives the green light from doctors to do so.

Markakis (fractured wrist) won't require surgery and could return at some point in September, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markakis was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday after getting hit by a pitch on the wrist in Friday's game. While it's good to hear he could return this season, the best-case scenario of a return sometime in the season's final month makes him a drop candidate in many fantasy formats. Austin Riley and Ender Inciarte figure to see a slight bump in playing time, but Adam Duvall, who was promoted in a corresponding move, could also get starts, particularly against left-handed pitching.

Markakis was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a fractured left wrist.

EDGE Analysis

He was hit on the wrist by a pitch in Friday's game against the Phillies and got the worst possible news after tests revealed a fracture. The team has not provided a return timetable, but it's possible Markakis will be sidelined for the rest of the regular season. Ender Inciarte and Austin Riley will now likely take on everyday roles.

Markakis was removed from Friday's game against the Phillies after being hit by a pitch on his wrist, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markakis remained in the game immediately after being drilled, but he ultimately came out in the top of the sixth inning. The injury "doesn't look good," stated skipper Brian Snitker. "We're not optimistic." The extent of the issue is not yet known, but the Braves are expected to receive an update Saturday, per Kelsey Wingert of Fox Sports South.

Markakis is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Markakis sits for the first time in the month of July. Matt Joyce will make a rare start in his absence in right field.
