4 years agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis will be back among the starting nine Tuesday against the Yankees and right-hander Gerrit Cole, with top prospect Cristian Pache being optioned back to the club’s alternate training site. Markakis has been out of the mix since Aug. 17 after potentially having been exposed to COVID-19, but he has been cleared to rejoin the lineup looking to continue his hot five-game stretch (8-for-17). His matchup with Cole all but zaps his DFS intrigue, but he figures to hold down the right-field spot with regularity moving forward.--Jesse Borek
