Nick Markakis

Atlanta's Nick Markakis not starting on Wednesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the New York Mets.

What It Means:

With the Braves well out of things in the National League playoff hunt, the veteran Markakis will get a rest as Lane Adams take over in right tonight.

Having tallied 8 home runs and 72 RBI on a .274 average, Markakis is projected for 6 hits, 2 walks and 3 RBI in 23 plate appearances over the duration of the regular season.
