Ozuna (abdomen) will return to the lineup as expected for Friday's game against the Marlins, batting third and playing left field.
EDGE Analysis
Ozuna was scratched from Thursday's series finale against the Phillies due to lower abdominal tightness, but reports indicated it would only be a one-game absence. That will indeed be the case, which is great news for Atlanta, as Ozuna is riding a 12-game hitting streak.

Ozuna (abdomen) will return to the lineup Friday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ozuna was scratched from Thursday's game but the issue won't keep him sidelined for long. He's swung the bat well of late, collecting at least one hit in each of his last 12 games while smacking four home runs and collecting eight RBI and six runs scored.

Ozuna was scratched from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies due to lower abdominal tightness.
EDGE Analysis
Although Ozuna was removed from Thursday's lineup less than an hour before the start of the game, his injury doesn't seem like a significant concern since he'll be available off the bench. However, Orlando Arcia will enter the lineup in left field and bat eighth.

Ozuna went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-3 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
He staked Atlanta to a 3-0 lead by taking Trevor Rogers deep in the first inning. Ozuna has gone yard in three straight games and four of the last six as part of a seven-game hitting streak, but the surge has only boosted his slash line on the year to .224/.268/.414 as he pulls himself out of a deep early season hole.

Ozuna went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran slugger went back-to-back with Austin Riley off Corbin Burnes in the third inning, staking Atlanta to an early 4-0 lead that the bullpen couldn't protect. Ozuna has gone yard three times in the last five games as part of a six-game hitting streak, and he's up to seven homers and 17 RBI through 38 games on the season.

Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old slugger hadn't swiped a base since August 2019 coming into the season, but Ozuna suddenly has two steals in the last five games. It's otherwise been a brutal May for him, as he's gone 6-for-50 (.120) through 13 contests with one homer, four RBI and five runs.

Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Ozuna struck out in his first three trips to the plate, but his two-run shot off Steven Wilson in the bottom of the eighth was a crucial one, as it tied the game at five. He now as five homers on the season but is still hitting a disappointing .205/.246/.356 overall.
