Late in the season Marcell Ozuna received a cortisone shot for his shoulder. The shoulder was an obvious aliment that at times even prevented the right fielder from throwing. After the shot Ozuna seemed to be doing much better. He was hitting more flyballs out of the infield and pulling the ball more. With the season now over, Ozuna has apparently underwent more procedures on his shoulder. Per Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com:
Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna underwent a cleanup procedure on his right shoulder designed to address an impingement and lingering inflammation.
