Ozuna also drew a pair of walks. The 34-year-old has not been able to come close to matching his impressive numbers over the last two campaigns, but he is now up to 21 homers and 67 RBI over 142 games.

Incredibly, it’s Ozuna’s first three-hit game since May 22, though the fact that he’s walked 90 times does factor in there. Still, Ozuna had been slumping big-time of late. He had as many RBI today as he did in previous 27 games combined, and he still hasn’t homered since hitting his 20th on Aug. 13.

This was a grind-it-out game on both sides where runs were tough to come by. Ozuna scored each of the Braves runs after hitting his two doubles and is trying to get back into a groove after playing sporadically over the last few weeks.

The Sean Murphy injury cleared the way for Ozuna to finish the season as the Braves’ everyday DH, but he needs to hit. Alas, he’s at just .130/.250/.185 with two RBI in his last 18 games. The Braves have Jake Fraley in the outfield and Ronald Acuña Jr. DHing tonight.

It’s the third time in the last five games that the 34-year-old slugger has found himself back on the bench for the Braves. Ronald Acuna Jr. will serve as the team’s designated hitter on Sunday while Eli White will draw a start in right field and will bat sixth against Phillies’ left-hander Jesus Luzardo.

The team is giving Ronald Acuña Jr. a partial day off by using him at DH. Jake Fraley, who probably wishes he was picked up by another team, is making his first start (and appearance of any kind) since being claimed off waivers eight days ago.

Ozuna has been an everyday player of late, but a lengthy slump from him could result in the Braves going back to using Drake Baldwin and Sean Murphy simultaneously. Ozuna is 4-for-20 with just that one RBI tonight in his last six games.

That’s three homers in two games and six in 12 games for Ozuna, who is back serving as the Braves’ primary DH after taking a backseat to the team’s catcher tandem prior to the trade deadline. His current .796 OPS is his high mark since late June.

Ozuna had a big day at the plate after sitting out the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader. He got the start at designated hitter for the second game and hit a pair of homers, driving in four runs. The 34-year-old slugger is up to 18 homers with 53 RBI while slashing .239/.367/.419 across 442 plate appearances.

Ozuna did his damage in the first inning of this one, belting a 404-foot (99.0 mph EV) solo shot off of Carlos Carrasco that increased the Braves’ early lead to 2-0. The 34-year-old slugger also singled twice in the ballgame, finishing the night 3-for-4. He’s slowly bringing his season slash back to respectability, now hitting .239/.370/.406 with the aforementioned 16 long balls and 49 RBI.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker is rolling with an ice-cold Sean Murphy for the second straight contest at DH, with Ozuna on the bench. The 34-year-old slugger isn’t hitting for average at all, but he does have a pair of round-trippers in his last seven games.

Ozuna figures to mostly play against lefties after going untraded Thursday, but his nice game last night, when he singled in a run, walked three times and plated the go-ahead run in the 10th with a sac fly, has him in there against righty Brady Singer today. Sean Murphy is taking a seat after starting over Drake Baldwin against lefties the last two days. If Ozuna gets hot, it’d be bad news for both Braves catchers.

The 34-year-old slugger led off the fourth inning with a single and scored the Braves’ first run on an RBI knock off the bat of Michael Harris II. He then started the sixth with a walk before scoring on an error. Ozuna also walked and scored during the Braves’ eight-run uprising in the eighth inning. He then played the role of hero in the 10th, smacking a go-ahead sacrifice fly that proved to be the difference. On the season, he’s slashing a disappointing .235/.365/.399 with 15 homers and 48 RBI.

Ozuna drew a two-out walk off of Seth Lugo in the fourth inning but was left stranded at first base. He then belted a 399-foot (105.4 mph EV) two-run shot on a first-pitch curveball from Seth Lugo that pulled the Braves to within a run at 4-3. That would be as close as they would get. He then chipped in an RBI single in the seventh inning. With his two-hit effort, the 34-year-old slugger is now hitting .236/.364/.403 with 15 homers and 47 RBI.

Sean Murphy is at DH and batting sixth on Tuesday night at Truist Park. Ozuna has been on Atlanta’s bench for six of their last eight games as his ongoing struggles continue. The 34-year-old veteran, who has been playing through a hip issue this season, figures to be on the move at the trade deadline, but that isn’t a lock.

Ozuna sat out two of the Braves’ final three games heading into the All-Star break and he finds himself right back on the pine once again on Friday evening. The Braves will once again use it as a way to get both catchers into their lineup with Sean Murphy functioning as the team’s designated hitter and batting fifth against Ian Hamilton and the Yankees.

Ozuna, who has been the subject of trade rumors recently, closes out a disappointing first half with two homers in his final three games. He finishes batting .239/.364/.396 with 13 homers and 42 RBI through 89 games. The 34-year-old veteran slugger deserves some credit for playing through a lingering hip issue, which appears to have adversely impacted his power production. It’ll be interesting to see if the impending free agent attracts any attention at the upcoming trade deadline. It’ll be Sean Murphy at DH on Sunday afternoon against St. Louis.

Ozuna, who didn’t play Friday, has two homers in three games after going 21 games without one. It doesn’t seem like his hip is going to allow him to be his usual self during the second half, but the four days off will probably do him some good.

It’s strange to see Ozuna on the pine against an opposing left-hander in Matthew Liberatore, but that’s where we are at right now with the slumping 34-year-old slugger. Sean Murphy will function as the team’s designated hitter on Friday night and will bat cleanup for the Braves.

Ozuna takes a seat after an 0-for-4 performance out of the sixth spot in Atlanta’s lineup on Saturday left him hitting .159 (18-for-113) with one homer and 32 strikeouts over his last 30 games. He’s just 3-for-24 over his last seven games. The 34-year-old veteran has been playing through a hip tear for most of this season, but has insisted that it isn’t impacting his performance. We’re not convinced. It’ll be rookie sensation Drake Baldwin taking over at DH and batting sixth on Sunday morning in his place.

Ozuna, who has been playing through a hip tear throughout most of this season, has been mired in an extended tailspin at the dish, hitting .177 (20-for-113) with only two homers in his last 30 games. He’s been dropped to the lower portion of Atlanta’s lineup for the second straight game with Jurickson Profar getting looks in the cleanup spot.

Ozuna, who hadn’t struck out more than twice in a game this season previously, fanned three times against Ranger Suárez and once versus Orion Kerkering. He’s hitting .175 with just one homer in his last 25 games, which makes it worth wondering if his hip injury is affecting him. He’s still doing fine from an exit velocity and xwOBA standpoint, though.

The Braves are currently 12 games back in the NL East and seven games out of a Wild Card spot, so they face a real uphill climb to get back into the postseason race. If they don’t make up enough ground by the deadline, Feinsand believes Ozuna will be the most attractive rental for Atlanta. However, we also know he’s playing through a tear in his hip, so it’s unclear what kind of return he would net. Feinsand lists the Guardians, Rangers and Tigers as potential trade destinations.

Austin Riley’s sac fly won it in the 10th after Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez panicked and threw to the wrong base while automatic runner Luke Williams was a sitting duck on a ball that got away from the catcher hit the umpire and stayed right there for Alvarez to pick up. The game went to extras because of some bad baserunning from the Mets’ stars and Ozuna’s bases-loaded double off Reed Garrett. Ozuna’s production has slowed as he deals with a hip injury, but he has eight RBI in his last four games.

This comes a day after the team admitted that Ozuna been playing with a tear in his hip. It’s certainly not performance related, as he’s hitting .362/.483/.617 in his last 13 games. Still, the Braves might be figuring getting a couple fewer at-bats each week will save a little wear.

Anthopoulos added that it’s going to be an ongoing factor for the remainder of the year and that he’ll need to continue managing the issue. Ozuna missed a couple games back in mid-April to undergo further testing after experiencing hip inflammation, but wasn’t believed to be dealing with anything significant. The fact that he hasn’t missed any additional time is pretty remarkable, but it’s a situation that fantasy managers will need to monitor closely. The ongoing issue hasn’t greatly impacted the 34-year-old slugger’s on-field performance of late since he’s hitting .321 (17-for-53) with four homers over his last 15 games.

The 34-year-old slugger started a four-run uprising with a one-out single off of Zack Wheeler in the fourth inning, racing around to score on a two-run double by Austin Riley. He also worked walks in the first and ninth innings and scored the Braves’ final run on a ground out off the bat of Ozzie Albies. Ozuna is enjoying another tremendous season at the dish thus far, slashing .279/.428/.464 with nine long balls and 24 RBI through his first 229 plate appearances.

Ozuna launched a two-run shot off Sean Newcomb in the eighth inning that sailed over the Green Monster and out of the stadium. It broke the game wide open for the Braves. Ozuna now has eight home runs and 22 RBI for the Braves, and that RBI total should begin to tick up when this offense wakes up and Ronald Acuna Jr. comes back.

Ozuna was hitless in his first four at-bats as the Braves and Reds took a 1-1 tie into the tenth inning. He came through for the team with a walk-off base hit to score Alex Verdugo from second base. The 34-year-old slugger is hitting .275/.433/.450 with five homers and 13 RBI across 141 plate appearances.

Ozuna took Joe Ryan deep for his fourth home run of the season and also notched a 108.1 mph groundout on the day. Ozuna missed the first part of the week while recovering from a hip injury, but he had two hits in Saturday’s game and now a home run on Sunday. It seems like he’s healthy and back to his normal self.
