Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis will rejoin the team after initially opting out of the 2020 season over COVID-19 concerns.
David O'Brien and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported Markakis "felt as if he had let the team down" after the Braves started the season 2-3. Markakis initially thought he was ineligible to return, but MLB is allowing players on the restricted list to apply for reinstatement by Aug. 1.
