Braves' Marcell Ozuna removed from game for not hustling

Atlanta Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna was removed from Sunday's game for not hustling after hitting a drive to deep center field, manager Brian Snitker confirmed after the game

In the fourth inning of the Braves' 8-5 victory over the host Arizona Diamondbacks, Ozuna smashed a Zac Gallen offering to deep center that would've been a home run in 26 of 30 major league ballparks, according to USA Today

However, it was only a 415-foot single as Ozuna stood at home plate, admiring his work as the ball caromed off the center field wall.
