Thu Sep 1900:04Marcell Ozuna Hits 38th Home Run, Doubles Twice
Atlanta Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna went 3-for-4 in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Reds, collecting his 38th home run of the season, smacking two doubles, driving in two, and scoring twice as well. The home run ended a remarkable 26-game homerless drought for the 33-year-old. Even still, the veteran slugger has put together a strong season for the Braves, posting a .306-38-100-92-0 line. The final month of the season has been the most productive for the 3x All-Star throughout his career, slashing .294/.364/.522 during that time, so he may be heating back up again at just the right time for fantasy managers navigating the fantasy playoffs.

Atlanta Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna kept crushing it in Friday night's win over the visiting Tampa Bay Rays, crushing his league-leading 19th home run of the season with three RBI. Taking Rays right-hander Zack Littell deep during the opening frame, Ozuna hammered a three-run homer to right field to put the Braves ahead 3-1 early on Friday. The 33-year-old Dominican slugger has been stellar in 2024, slashing .321/.396/.610 with 60 RBI, 15 doubles, and 41 runs scored over 249 at-bats for the Braves as Atlanta's primary No. 3 batter. He's shaping up as one of the best picks out of the middle rounds of fantasy drafts this past spring. Well on his way to Arlington later this summer for the third All-Star nod of his career, Ozuna's .663 xSLG on Baseball Savant is somehow better than what he's actually slugging.

Atlanta Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna halted a mini slump with two more home runs in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the visiting Boston Red Sox, adding a walk in the shutout victory.

A three-game weekend series with the division-rival New York Mets commences on Friday, which fantasy managers should be looking forward to. In 13 games against the Mets since 2023, Ozuna is batting a torrid .396 with six long balls, seven doubles, and 18 RBI.

Wed Apr 300:24Marcell Ozuna Homers Twice Tuesday
Atlanta Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna had a nice game at the plate in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox. The 33-year-old went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a strikeout. The power hitter has only managed a .227 batting average in his first 22 plate appearances but he also has three HR. It is still early and Ozuna has plenty of time to bring his average up, but it is encouraging to see him hitting for power out of the gate.

Tue Mar 2610:44Marcell Ozuna Goes Deep Monday, Collects Three RBI
Atlanta Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna hit his second home run of the spring on Monday in a 4-0 Grapefruit League win over the Twins. Ozuna had started off the spring hot but his bat had gone cold as of late, going 2-for-17 over his last six games. The 33-year-old is still hitting .306 in the spring, going 15-for-49 with two doubles, two home runs, four RBI (three of which came on Monday's HR), and four runs scored. He's got just two walks compared to 16 strikeouts which is a bit concerning, but as long as he keeps hitting home runs that can be tolerated. The Braves have their Grapefruit finale on Tuesday before opening the season Thursday against the Phillies in Philadelphia.

Sun Mar 323:38Marcell Ozuna Off To Blistering Start This Spring
Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna is slashing .538/.600/..846 with a home run and three runs scored over six spring games. He bounced back in 2023 after a lackluster 2022. The 33-year-old blasted a career-high 40 home runs and collected 100 RBI over 592 plate appearances in 2023. Ozuna's production was backed up by career-highs in barrel rate (16.6%) and hard-hit rate (49%). He is projected to hit in the heart of the order in a loaded Braves lineup that includes Ronald Acuna Jr., Matt Olson, Ozzie Albies, and Austin Riley. Ozuna has always been a boom-or-bust player and only qualifies at utility in NFBC leagues. Despite the lack of position eligibility, Ozuna should pop 30-plus homers (ATC projects 30) and is a solid pick at his current NFBC ADP of 151.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna continued his power surge in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rockies. Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a single, a solo home run, two RBI, a walk, and a strikeout. Despite a very rough start to the season, the 32-year-old has returned to being a fantasy asset and now owns a .267/.340/.529 slash line with 30 HR and 73 RBI. He should remain in fantasy managers' lineups at all times as long as he continues to hit for power.

Atlanta Braves outfielder/designated hitter Marcell Ozuna continued to stay hot at the plate during Wednesday's 8-1 victory over the Cleveland Guardians, going 2-for-5 with two singles. The slugger has been on a tear since May, batting .309 with 15 bombs. Across 70 games overall this season, Ozuna owns a .257/.332/.494 slash line with 17 homers, 36 runs, and 40 RBI. It's safe to say the 32-year-old has bounced back after two lousy campaigns with the bat in 2021 and 2022. If not already, Ozuna needs to be rostered in every format.

The streaky 32-year-old Dominican has come on strong in the month of June with a .321/.413/.547 slash line with three home runs, three doubles, 10 RBI and 10 runs scored for the Braves in 16 games played.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna (wrist) is returning to the lineup for the second game of a doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. Ozuna is serving as the designated hitter and is batting fifth against Tigers right-hander Michael Lorenzen in the nightcap of the twin bill. The 32-year-old Ozuna miss the team's last two games with a bruised right wrist, but he's back in there in the second game on Wednesday. Fantasy managers will want to get him back into their lineups, as he has been scorching-hot so far in the month of June with a .414 average (12-for-29) with three doubles, two home runs, seven RBI and five runs scored in nine games.

Tue Jun 13 202316:00Marcell Ozuna Not In Tuesday's Lineup
Atlanta Braves outfielder/designated hitter Marcell Ozuna (wrist) is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers. Ozuna won't play the day after leaving early on Monday when he was hit in the right wrist by a pitch. Thankfully, X-rays came back negative, so Ozuna is listed as day-to-day and could return as early as Wednesday. It remains to be seen if he'll be available off the bench on Tuesday, but the Braves probably want to give him at least one day off. Eddie Rosario is serving as the designated hitter and batting fifth, while Kevin Pillar is in left field and hitting in the eight-hole against Tigers right-hander Reese Olson. Ozuna is in the midst of a nine-game hitting streak to begin the month of June, going 12-for-29 (.414) with three doubles, two homers and seven RBI, so hopefully he returns soon.
