Markakis went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's loss to the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

He's gone just 4-for-16 to begin the season, but three of his hits have gone for extra bases. Markakis has also struck out eight times in 16 at-bats, however, an alarming sign for a 33-year-old who saw his K-rate rise above 14 percent last year for the first time since 2008. He should start making more contact soon enough, but if his bat is beginning to slow Markakis' fantasy value could fall off a cliff very quickly.
