Braves Bench Marcell Ozuna For Lack Of Hustle

  • Marcell Ozuna was removed from Sunday’s game for not hustling after hitting a deep center field drive.
  • Ozuna settled for a 415-foot single because he stood at home plate and watched the ball reach its destination instead of running right after contact.
  • Ozuna is a two-time All-Star, hitting .227 with 11 home runs and 23 RBIs in 44 games this season.
  • He is in the third year of a four-year, $65 million contract he signed before the 2021 season.
  • Ozuna reached a plea agreement last month following his 2022 arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol.
