Ozuna (finger) was officially placed on the 10-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Ozuna fractured two fingers on his left hand while running the bases Tuesday against the Red Sox. While he won't require surgery, he's expected to miss at least six weeks, meaning he won't be back on the field until shortly before the All-Star break at the earliest. Guillermo Heredia should see time in left field in his absence, with at-bats opening up for Ender Inciarte in center.

Ozuna was diagnosed with fractures in his ring and middle fingers on his left hand Wednesday but won't require surgery, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ozuna underwent X-rays that revealed dislocated fingers Tuesday, but his CT scans and other tests Wednesday revealed a more serious issue. Even though he won't need to undergo surgery, Ozuna is expected to miss at least six weeks.

Ozuna (finger) is expected to miss at least six weeks, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ozuna visited a specialist in Atlanta on Wednesday after he dislocated the ring and middle fingers on his left hand Tuesday. His extended absence will likely keep him out until at least July. Ehire Adrianza and Ender Inciarte could see increased playing time in the outfield while Ozuna is sidelined.

Ozuna (finger) isn't starting Wednesday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Ozuna's absence from the lineup was expected since he returned to Atlanta after he dislocated the ring and middle fingers on his left hand Tuesday. The 30-year-old will visit with a specialist in Atlanta, and a better idea of his status could be known once the visit is complete. Pablo Sandoval will serve as the designated hitter while Guillermo Heredia starts in left field Wednesday.

Ozuna dislocated the ring and middle fingers on his left hand Tuesday and will return to Atlanta to visit a specialist, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old suffered the injury during a slide into third base when he had his fingers bent back awkwardly. The team has yet to decide whether a trip to the injured list is necessary, though Ozuna can be ruled out for Wednesday's series finale given he's returning to Atlanta to be evaluated.

Ozuna exited Tuesday's game at Boston with an apparent finger injury on his left hand, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old delivered an RBI double during the third inning Tuesday, but he had a finger on his left hand bent back while sliding into third base on a subsequent grounder. Ozuna should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status.

Ozuna went 3-for-5 with a walk, two doubles, a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 20-1 rout of the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
His sixth-inning solo shot off Kyle Keller was one of seven homers by Atlanta on the night. Ozuna has had a sluggish start to the season but has picked up the pace somewhat recently, hitting .244 (11-for-45) over the last 11 games with three home runs and five RBI.

Ozuna went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, two runs scored and two walks in Friday's 6-3 win over Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Ozuna and Ozzie Albies launched back-to-back solo homers in the fifth inning, extending Atlanta's lead to 4-1. It was Ozuna's sixth home run of the season. He improved his slash line to .216/.297/.358 on the year.

Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Ozuna had a rough outing at the plate Tuesday night with three strikeouts but his bat did come alive in the sixth when he momentarily gave the Braves the lead with a solo home run to left. The 30-year-old has still not really figured out his swing so far, as he's slashing .203/.276/.333 with five home runs, 21 RBI and 13 runs scored to go along with a 13:36 BB:K. He has been making better contact lately but it's still been a majorly disappointing start to the year after an incredible offensive showing during the abbreviated 2020 campaign.

Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
His third-inning blast off Erick Fedde proved to be the difference in the game. Three of Ozuna's four homers on the year, and nine of his 19 RBI, have come in the last seven games as the veteran slugger climbs out of an early-season hole.
