Nick Markakis not in Atlanta's starting lineup versus Cubs
Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis is not in Wednesday afternoon's starting lineup versus the Chicago Cubs.
What It Means:
Danny Santana will draw the start in right field and bat sixth versus Cubs southpaw Mike Montgomery. It's likely just a day off for Markakis, whose solo blast on Tuesday night accounted for the Braves' only run in a 5-1 loss to the defending World Series champs.
Markakis is slashing .277/.354/.389 with 5 homers, 47 RBI, and 48 runs scored in 395 plate appearances (92 games) this season. numberFire's models project Markakis to record a .279 batting average with another 4 dingers, 28 RBI, 28 runs scored, and 253 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
