Nick Markakis (wrist) returns to Braves' lineup on Sunday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis (wrist) will return to the starting lineup on Sunday against the Miami Marlins.
Markakis has been out of the lineup since Wednesday due to a right wrist injury. He will bat cleanup in today's series opener against right-hander Odrisamer Despaigne. Matt Kemp will grab a seat on the Braves' bench.
With a decent implied total (4.88 runs) in a matchup they're expected to win, the Braves' lineup may be worth targeting on Sunday. numberFire's models project Markakis to score 8.5 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,400.
