6 years agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis is getting the day off Thursday afternoon in San Francisco. Markakis has followed up his All-Star season last year with a similar line so far this year. As steady as they come, the veteran outfielder has posted an .810 OPS in 50 games. This will be Markakis' first day off of the season after also playing in all 162 games in 2018. The dependable outfielder should be back in the lineup Friday in St. Louis. Markakis will be replaced by Charlie Culberson. With his 1.171 OPS against left-handed pitching this year, Culberson is worth a look as a cheap fill-in for daily leagues.--Walt Clark
