RF Nick Markakis leaning toward having surgery

by Steve Painter | Sat, Dec 6th 2:44pm EST

The Braves were aware of the bulging disk in his neck prior to signing him so this is no surprise. Recovery will take 12 weeks. (Ken Rosenthal)

Fantasy Impact:

The Braves hope to have him for most of spring training anyway. Better to take care of it now rather than risk an in-season need. Full recovery is expected and will not affect his value.
