Ozuna is still on the injured list after injuring two fingers on his left hand during Wednesday’s game in Boston — meaning he did not travel with the team to New York.
A photo circulating Twitter shows Ozuna’s left arm in a cast, while being arrested.
Fulton County booking reports confirm that Marcel Ozuna was in fact arrested today in Sandy Springs for domestic violence. Ozuna is on the IL and therefore not in NYC with the @Braves. https://t.co/iChs0PjpI0

The Braves released a statement in the middle of tonight’s game saying, the organization fully supports the league’s stance on domestic violence — and until the investigation is completed there will be no other comment.
