Braves' Ozuna Removed From Sunday's Game

Atlanta Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna was removed from Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks for not hustling after hitting a drive to deep center field, manager Brians Snitker confirmed after the contest.

In the fourth inning of the Braves' 8-5 victory, Ozuna smashed a Zac Gallen offering to deep center. He ended up on first base, settling for a 415-foot single because Ozuna stood at home plate and watched the ball reach its destination instead of running right after contact.
