Elects to opt out Markakis has decided to opt out of playing this season, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Markakis becomes the latest in a growing number of players to decide not to play during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Markakis had been in line to fill a fairly large role in left field this season, with Marcell Ozuna expected to spend time as the designated hitter. His decision opens up more at-bats for Adam Duvall as well as offering another spot in the lineup for Austin Riley and Johan Camargo, who were expected to compete for time at third base.

The implementation of the universal designated hitter already looked like it would give Riley a clear path to an everyday role, and Freeman's potential absence may only further solidify the 23-year-old's spot in the lineup. After an up-and-down rookie season, Riley was one of the Braves' top performers in spring training, slashing .357/.438/.643 while striking out in only five of his 28 at-bats.
