Marcell Ozuna starting for Atlanta Braves days after DUI arrest

ATLANTA - The Atlanta Braves announced outfielder Marcell Ozuna is in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Houston Astros, days after the player was arrested for DUI in Norcross.

Ozuna is playing left field and batting eighth for Atlanta.

Ozuna hasn't appeared in a game for the Braves since Aug. 14 against Miami. He's been with the team and in the dugout during games.

Ozuna was arrested by police for driving under the influence and failure to maintain lane in Norcross early Friday morning following a traffic stop.
