The Atlanta Braves could be closing in on the return of a pair of injured outfielders before the end of the regular season. Both Nick Markakis and Ender Inciarte are progressing in their return from injury.
Markakis has been out since July 26 with a fractured wrist. He is scheduled to take part in sim games next week while the team is on the road and there is a chance, according to MLB.com’s Mark Bowman, that he could be activated as soon as next weekend.
Markakis will get at-bats in simulated situations next week in Philadelphia.
