Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna has been arrested Saturday for aggravated assault by strangulation and family violence according to police records.
He's being held without bond at the Fulton County Jail.
The Atlanta Braves released this statement following the arrest this evening.
“We learned of Marcell Ozuna’s arrest earlier this evening and immediately informed the Commissioner’s Office. The Braves fully support Major League Baseball’s policy on domestic violence which stresses to the fullest that our society cannot and will not tolerate domestic violence in any form. Until the investigation is completed, we will have no further comment and all inquiries into the matter should be referred to the Office of the Commissioner.”
Ozuna injured his hand earlier this week and was placed on the injured list. He wasn't expected to play again for at least a few weeks.
