Ozuna is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ozuna is not in the starting lineup for the second time in three games and is currently mired in a 1-for-19 slump over his last six games. Sean Murphy will be the designated hitter and hit cleanup for Atlanta while Chadwick Tromp gets the start behind the plate.

Ozuna isn't starting Friday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

With Ozuna still struggling at the plate to start the season, the team will start with him on the bench against Brady Singer and the Royals. Eddie Rosario will instead serve as Atlanta's DH with Kevin Pillar getting the start in left field and batting eighth.

Ozuna is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Though he's produced two home runs through Atlanta's first 10 games, Ozuna has otherwise gone 0-for-25 at the plate with 10 strikeouts against five walks. He still should have a fairly clear path to seeing the lion's share of the reps at designated hitter while both Travis d'Arnaud (concussion) and Michael Harris (back) are on the injured list, but Ozuna's ongoing struggles at the plate mean that he'll likely be subject to more days off than most of Atlanta's other regulars. Eddie Rosario will spell him at designated hitter Monday while Kevin Pillar fills Rosario's usual spot in left field.

Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran slugger took Nick Martinez deep in the third inning to get Atlanta on the board. Ozuna has had a tough start to the season, managing only two hits in 21 at-bats, but both of them have left the yard. It's tough to get unluckier than a .000 BABIP, and his 3:6 BB:K doesn't suggest he's having issues making contact, so his .095 batting average should begin to rise soon enough.

Ozuna is out of the lineup Thursday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

The hot-hitting Travis d'Arnaud will DH and bat cleanup, with Kevin Pillar covering left field and hitting eighth. Ozuna is just 1-for-17 (.059) with six strikeouts out of the gate this season.

Ozuna is absent from Atlanta's starting lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Kevin Pillar is in left field and batting ninth versus the Cardinals and left-hander Steven Matz, with Travis d'Arnaud handling DH duties and hitting cleanup. Ozuna slugged a solo homer Saturday against the Nationals, but it's his only hit through 16 plate appearances this season.

Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

His fourth-inning blast was one of three on the day as Atlanta hitters bashed off Josiah Gray. Ozuna has struggled to hit for average the last couple seasons, but the 32-year-old still hit 23 homers in 124 games in 2022 and figures to be a solid power source once again this year, even if the rest of his profile doesn't rebound.
