BRAVES PITCHER AWAKES FROM COMA

Matt Marksberry suffers a seizure during a medical procedure,

Pitcher Matt Marksberry awoke from a medically induced coma Thursday in an Orlando, Fla., hospital, his sister said via social media.

A person familiar with the situation said Marksberry, 26, was in a coma after suffering a seizure and collapsed lung while undergoing a colonoscopy Tuesday. He went in for the procedure after having stomach pains for nearly a week.

His sister, Bridget, posted on Twitter just after 5 p.m. Thursday that Marksberry “is starting to wake up. He still has a long journey ahead of him. My family and myself appreciate the love and support you have given us.”

Friends had begun to fear the worst Wednesday night, when news spread on social media he had a seizure and was on life support.

The Braves’ only comment on the situation came Wednesday when a team spokesman said Marksberry was being treated for “severe dehydration” and HIPAA regulations prohibited them from saying anything more.

A 15th-round draft pick in 2013 out of Campbell University in North Carolina, Marksberry made his major league debut in 2015 and pitched in 31 games for the Braves that season.

The left-handed reliever spent most of the 2016 season at Triple-A Gwinnett but made four major league relief appearances before going on the disabled list with rotator-cuff inflammation, which sidelined him for the final two months of the season.

The Ohio native had been in Florida this offseason rehabbing his shoulder.
