The Atlanta Braves will be without Marcell Ozuna for about six weeks after he fractured the middle and ring fingers on his left hand after jamming his hand into Rafael Devers’ foot on an attempted slide Tuesday night. Ozuna was sent back to Atlanta where tests revealed the extent of the injury.
Brian Snitker discussed Ozuna’s injury prior to Wednesday’s game and touched on where the Braves will go from here. He said that he was hoping for the best initially.
“I was hoping maybe they wouldn’t have found anything and he would have been in a couple days getting some swelling down and getting back out there, but he fractured his ring and middle finger and will be out around six weeks, Snitker said” “It’s a significant time to be without a big player on your team.
