Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Friday's 10-7 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran slugger hadn't had a multi-hit performance since July 5, slashing a brutal .082/.132/.143 in the following 14 games with a 3:19 BB:K, but Ozuna appeared to find his stroke again Friday. Atlanta could pick up another bat at the trade deadline to work into the corner outfield/DH mix, but the streaky 32-year-old likely still has some job security after his rampage through May and June. On the season, Ozuna sports a .746 OPS with 19 homers and 44 RBI in 85 contests.

Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's win over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran slugger drove a first-pitch fastball from Gavin Williams over the right-center field wall in the fourth inning. The solo shot extended Ozuna's hitting streak to 13 games, a stretch in which he's slashing .288/.351/.558 with four homers and 10 RBI. After stumbling out of the gate with a .397 OPS in April and looking like his roster spot could be in jeopardy, Ozuna has completely turned things around and delivered a .966 OPS since the beginning of May.

Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
With the score tied 1-1 in the seventh inning, the veteran slugger started a three-run rally by hammering a Sonny Gray fastball into the seats in right-center field. Ozuna has gone yard three times in the last five contests while extending his hitting streak to seven games, as he puts the finishing touches on a big June that has seen him slash .314/.402/.571 with five of his 16 homers and 15 of his 37 RBI on the season.

Ozuna went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI against the Reds in a 7-6 victory Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Ozuna singled home a run in the third inning and added a solo shot to right field in the seventh. The long ball was the second in three days for the veteran and his 15th overall this season. Ozuna is on pace to reach the 30-homer mark for the second time in his career, with the other being in 2017 with Miami.

Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Thursday's extra-inning win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The game was scoreless through nine innings, but Ozuna capped a five-run eruption for Atlanta in the 10th by crushing a backup slider from Yunior Marte deep to left field. The veteran slugger is up to 14 homers on the season, including three in June to help fuel his .321/.413/.547 slash line on the month.

Ozuna (wrist) will serve as Atlanta's designated hitter and No. 5 batter in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
For the second game in a row, Ozuna went unused off the bench in Atlanta's 10-7 win in the opening contest of the twin bill, but he's shown enough improvement with his bruised right wrist to re-enter the lineup for the nightcap. Ozuna will hope the minor injury won't derail what's been a strong start to June. He's recorded at least one hit in all nine of the games he's played in this month and is slashing .414/.485/.724 with five extra-base knocks overall.

Ozuna (wrist) is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Ozuna will take a seat for Wednesday's matinee and miss a second consecutive contest as he nurses the bruised wrist he sustained in Monday's series opener with Detroit. It's unclear whether he'll be available for Game 2 on Wednesday, but Eddie Rosario will slot in at designated hitter while Kevin Pillar enters the lineup in left field and bats eighth in the day game.

Ozuna (wrist) is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Ozuna took a pitch off his right wrist in Monday's series opener against Detroit, but X-rays showed no fractures and he is considered day-to-day. Eddie Rosario will grab a turn at designated hitter Tuesday with Kevin Pillar patrolling left field.

Ozuna was removed from Monday's game as a precaution due to a right wrist contusion.
EDGE Analysis
The details of Ozuna's injury are now known and it appears he has avoided a serious injury. It's possible Atlanta keeps Ozuna out of the lineup Tuesday in order for him to heal, but he figures to be back within a few days.

Ozuna was removed from Monday's game against the Tigers after getting hit by a pitch, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ozuna initially remained in the game after taking a pitch to the hand/wrist, but Travis d'Arnaud later pinch-hit for him. Atlanta has yet to offer any details regarding Ozuna's injury, but he did seem to be in quite a bit of pain immediately after getting hit. He should be considered day-to-day until more is known.
