Reports: Marcell Ozuna’s wife arrested after domestic dispute

By
June 5, 2020

Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna suffered a facial injury after his wife, Genesis, hit him with a soap dish, according to multiple reports.

Genesis Ozuna was arrested after a two-week investigation and charged with domestic battery, Andy Slater of Fox Sports 640 in Miami first reported. Ozuna’s injury was described as a “small laceration.”

The Braves declined to comment.

Ozuna signed a one-year, $18 million deal with the Braves this offseason. The team hoped he could replace some of the middle-of-the-order power lost when Josh Donaldson signed with Minnesota. If there isn't an MLB season, Ozuna would become a free agent without playing a regular-season game for the Braves.
