Braves' Markakis returns 3 weeks after opting out of season

Nick Markakis is returning to the Atlanta Braves, three weeks after announcing he was opting out of the season due to his concerns about the coronavirus pandemic. Markakis, the veteran outfielder who is in his sixth season with Atlanta, said Wednesday he changed his mind about sitting out after watching his teammates play the first five games. ''It was nice to be home with the family, but more than anything I know my family wanted me to be out there with (the Braves),'' he said.
