Major League Baseball has handed down a 20-game, retroactive suspension to Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna for violating MLB’s Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy. Since the suspension was retroactive, the 20-games would have began when he was placed on administrative leave back on September 10 and ran through the end of the season.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred released the following statement in regards to Ozuna.
“My office has completed its investigation into the allegations that Marcell Ozuna violated Major League Baseball’s Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy.
