It appears as though there is, at the very least, some positive news regarding the health issues that have been plaguing Braves pitcher Matt Marksberry. As of now, according to multiple statements by family members on social media, he is starting to wake up from a medically-induced coma.
First, a little background: a couple of days ago, Marksberry posted the followed tweet:
I don't want to sound selfish but I really could use some prayers for my health right now. Non baseball related. Thank you guys

Apparently, this was a request due to the fact that Matt had been having severe stomach pains and he needed to go in for a colonoscopy.
