Marcell Ozuna Leaves After Hit By Pitch Monday
2 years agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna (hand) was removed from Monday's game early against the Detroit Tigers after getting hit by a pitch on the hand/wrist. It didn't look great when Atlanta's medical staff was evaluating him, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day until we know more about his condition. Catcher Travis d'Arnaud replaced Ozuna as a pinch-hitter. The 32-year-old Dominican slugger came into Monday's series opener against Detroit hitting .242 (43-for-178) with 13 homers, 29 RBI and 25 runs scored in 50 games, and he went 1-for-1 with a double and a run scored in the contest before departing to boost his average to .246. The Braves could send Ozuna for tests on his injured hand/wrist, so we may not have a clearer picture on his injury until Tuesday.
