Markakis sits out game with acid reflux
Nick Markakis - OF - Baltimore Orioles
Feb. 20, 2013 - 12:55 PM ET

Nick Markakis was held out of Wednesday's intrasquad games after being examined for acid reflux.

Manny Machado and Zach Braddock had similar exams earlier this week. The Orioles are trying to find out if the acid reflux is related to an ulcer, but it shouldn't have any impact on his ability to play. Markakis is scheduled to leave the team Wednesday to attend a funeral in Baltimore, but he should be back by Friday.
