Marcell Ozuna News
Atlanta Braves outfielder/designated hitter Marcell Ozuna is riding the pine for Wednesday's matchup with the Red Sox. The 32-year-old is also riding a noteworthy 8-for-27 stretch since May 2 with four homers and eight RBI, so it's not exactly an opportune time for fantasy managers who roster Ozuna to see him hit the bench. Travis d'Arnaud, who is back Wednesday after a multi-week absence with a concussion, replaces Ozuna in the lineup. d'Arnaud is likely to eat into Ozuna's playing time going forward with catcher Sean Murphy playing at such a high level right now.
Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna has been off to a cold start to begin the season. Through 13 games, Ozuna is hitting .083 with two home runs and two RBI. The 32-year-old remains under contract through the 2024 season. That being said, the Braves will continue to run him out there and hope he turns things around at the plate. He'll serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth versus left-hander Framber Valdez on Saturday. Fantasy managers can look elsewhere for help on Saturday as Ozuna is likely to continue struggling against a tough pitcher here.
Atlanta Braves outfielder/designated hitter Marcell Ozuna is back down to the eighth spot in the club's batting order Tuesday as he takes on the Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Luis Cessa. This marks Ozuna's third start of the season hitting out of the eight-hole while he hasn't hit above sixth to this point in what marks his ninth start of the campaign Tuesday. It's not a total surprise as Ozuna has struggled out of the gate, going just 2-for-28 (.071), albeit with both hits coming as home runs. Despite a strong 15.2% BB% he's also struck out in 30.3% of his plate appearances and is without a multi-hit effort in nine appearances on the season.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna suffered two dislocated fingers on his left hand in May and was later suspended after being involved in a domestic violence dispute. He is eligible to return this season following his suspension for domestic violence charges. MLB retroactively suspended Ozuna in mid-September, which covered the season's final month. Ozuna has served his suspension and will be with Atlanta once the lockout ends. If he's cleared, pending misdemeanor charges, Braves manager Brian Snitker said he would have no issues playing the outfielder. The 31-year-old slashed .213/.288/.356 with seven home runs, 26 RBI, 21 runs scored over 48 games before his suspension. Ozuna signed a four-year, $64 million contract with the Braves during the 2021 offseason. The Braves slugger hit .316 with four home runs and 13 RBI across 21 games in the Dominican Winter League. ATC projects Ozuna to slash .265/.342/.479 with 25 long balls over 504 plate appearances. According to Rotoballer's Expected Draft Values, assuming he returns as the team's starting left fielder, Ozuna is roughly fair value at the current 182 ADP. His role with the Braves remains unclear, but the expectation is that Ozuna will be with the team in 2022.
