Field Level Media

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna agreed Thursday to enter a pretrial diversion program that could result in charges related to a domestic violence incident in May being dropped.

Per the agreement, Ozuna will be supervised for six months and complete a 24-week family violence intervention program. He's also barred from contacting his wife or using illegal drugs and must perform 200 hours of community service.

Fulton County deputy district attorney Simone Hylton said that if Ozuna meets all the conditions, misdemeanor charges of family violence battery and simple assault would be dismissed.
