2025 Player Outlook
Marcell Ozuna is set to bring his power bat to fantasy lineups again in 2025 after a resurgent 2024 campaign where he re-established himself as a middle-of-the-order threat. His ability to produce 35+ home runs and 100+ RBIs makes him a valuable power asset. While we should expect some regression for the 34-year-old he can come down quite a bit from the 39 homers and .302 average he put up last season and still be incredibly valuable.
Player News
Marcell Ozuna did not travel to Toronto and underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed hip inflammation.
Fantasy managers should prioritize getting Ozuna out of their weekly lineups before they lock on Monday evening. The 34-year-old veteran slugger will miss the club’s three-game series against the Blue Jays with hip inflammation and won’t return until Friday’s series opener versus the Twins, assuming he doesn’t require a trip to the injured list. It’s a developing situation that fantasy managers should monitor closely over the remainder of the week.
Marcell Ozuna is absent from the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Blue Jays with a minor leg issue.
It’s merely an extra off day for Ozuna, who is dealing with a minor leg issue, according to manager Brian Snitker. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status over the remainder of the week, but Snitker downplayed concern about the issue prior to Monday’s contest in Toronto. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It’ll be Bryan De La Cruz taking a turn at DH on Monday night.
Marcell Ozuna homered for the second consecutive game on Friday night, but it wasn’t enough to power the Braves past the Rays in Tampa Bay.
After crushing a walk-off homer to beat the Phillies in extra innings on Thursday night, Ozuna tagged Edwin Uceta for a 425-foot (109.8 mph EV) solo shot in the eighth inning on Friday that pulled the Braves to within three runs at 5-2. He finished the evening 1-for-3 plus a walk and is now hitting .317/.509/.585 with three long balls and eight RBI on the season.
Marcell Ozuna blasted a walk-off two-run homer in the 11th inning on Thursday, powering the Braves to a 4-2 victory over the Phillies.
The game sat in a 1-1 tie for most of the game — and through a lengthy rain delay — until the Phillies finally scratched out a run on a two-out bases loaded walk in the top of the 11th. Austin Riley then evened the score with an RBI double to start the 10th before Ozuna walloped a Joe Ross fastball for a 429-foot (108.6 mph EV) walk-off blast. The 34-year-old slugger finished the day 3-for-5 and is now slashing a robust .316/.509/.526 with a pair of homers and seven RBI on the season.
