Ozuna was arrested on Saturday in Fulton County on domestic battery and aggravated assault charges.
Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna was arrested on Saturday in Fulton County, Georgia, on domestic battery and aggravated assault charges. Ozuna was booked by the Sandy Springs Police Department for allegedly strangulation of a family member.
Ozuna, 30, is currently on the injured list with broken fingers in his left hand and was not with the team in New York. Major League Baseball is expected to open an investigation into the matter, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan, and he could face a suspension in accordance with the league's domestic violence abuse policy.
Last year, Ozuna's wife, Genesis, was arrested for domestic battery in which she allegedly threw a soap dish at Ozuna that resulted in a facial laceration. The arrest followed a two-week investigation by the police.
Ozuna is in his second season with the Braves after signing a one-year contract prior to the 2020 season. He re-signed with the team on a four-year, $65 million deal this past winter. He's previously played for the Marlins and Cardinals.
