It hasn’t been a banner year for Marcell Ozuna. The Atlanta Braves designated hitter has been embroiled in more legal trouble after getting arrested for a DUI earlier in the week. That’s in addition to not playing since August 14 due to his poor on-field performance.
Braves Manager Brian Snitker reversed course on Sunday, starting a dejected Ozuna in left field against the Houston Astros.

Ozuna hasn’t appeared in a defensive position since July 27 and has only four starts in left field since July 1.
