DETROIT (AP) — Atlanta Braves slugger Marcell Ozuna has avoided a serious injury to his right wrist after being hit by a pitch Monday night.
Ozuna was sent to a hospital for testing after leaving a 6-5 loss to the Detroit Tigers when he was struck by a pitch from Garrett Hill.
“It’s good, everything was negative,” Ozuna said Tuesday. “We’re going to take it day by day and see how I feel going forward.”
Ozuna originally thought he was seriously injured.
“I thought it might be broken, because it swelled up and I couldn’t grip,” he said.
