Takes seat Saturday Markakis isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Nationals.
Sitting in second straight Markakis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Impact Out of the lineup against a right-handed pitcher (Pablo Lopez) for the second straight day, Markakis looks like he could be stuck in a timeshare with Ender Inciarte for the final everyday job in the Atlanta outfield. While Markakis has been the more productive hitter of the two outfielders this season, he's been in a funk to begin September, going hitless in 24 at-bats over seven games.

On bench against righty Markakis will sit Tuesday against the Marlins.
Impact Markakis had started against each of the last 12 righties the raves had faced but will sit against righty Sixto Sanchez here. Given that he's gone 0-for-24 over his last six games, it would hardly be a surprise to see him start to lose playing time. Ronald Acuna moves to right field in his absence, with Ender Inciarte starting in center.

Lands on IL after possible exposure Markakis was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday after being potentially exposed to the virus, though he has tested negative to this point.
Impact The move was made out of an "abundance of caution," and Markakis could rejoin the team relatively quickly if he continues to produce negative test results. Christian Pache, one of the organization's top prospects, was recalled for outfield depth with Ronald Acuna (wrist) also unavailable.

Day off Tuesday Markakis is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.
Impact Markakis started against five straight righties after re-entering the lineup last week, but he'll sit against lefty Jordan Montgomery here. It may take more than just one game to determine whether or not he's truly limited to a platoon role, however. Marcell Ozuna moves to right field for the first time in his absence, with Travis d'Arnaud resting his legs as the designated hitter.
