Phillies Land Braves' Marcell Ozuna to Solve Outfield Issues in Trade Idea
Phillies Land Braves' Marcell Ozuna to Solve Outfield Issues in Trade Idea originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Phillies need a centerfielder. With the options they have in right and left field, it'd make sense if the Phillies go after a center fielder at the trade deadline. Advertisement However, with this team in its current position and needing to win a World Series within the next year or two before the core continues to age, there's reason to believe that Dave Dombrowski could pursue the best player available. If that's the case, Jeff Passan of ESPN recently suggested that Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna could be available. Yes, the Phillies and Braves trading together might not be too likely, but the Phillies have the farm system to get the job done if Atlanta is willing to send him to Philadelphia. Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson (59) makes a pitching change during the seventh inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Citizens Bank Hartline-Imagn Images 'There's a chance Alex Anthopoulos, Atlanta's aggressive president of baseball operations, sees this season not as an anomaly but as a continuation of last year and entertains moving one of the Braves' core players. Absent that, in Ozuna, an impending free agent, the Braves have perhaps the best bat that could be available,' he wrote. Advertisement The Phillies and Ozuna would have to get creative in the outfield, which is a bit of a worry given that he isn't a great defender. However, it's tough to ignore what he can do offensively. He currently leads the National League in walks and has 10 home runs, 25 RBI, and a 153 OPS+. After hitting 39 home runs in 2024 and 40 in 2020, the 34-year-old is set to get a huge payday this winter. If the Braves don't plan on being the team that gives him that money, they might be willing to move him for a big haul.

Braves' Marcell Ozuna drops truth bomb on injury battle
The post Braves' Marcell Ozuna drops truth bomb on injury battle appeared first on ClutchPoints. Amid a disappointing 27-31 start that has the Atlanta Braves stuck in fourth place in the NL East, Atlanta is back in the spotlight—but not for anything happening on the field. A stunning injury revelation from veteran slugger Marcell Ozuna has added yet another layer of concern to a season already slipping away. According to a report from The Athletic's David O'Brien, the Atlanta DH has been battling a torn right hip—an issue that had been kept under wraps until now. Advertisement Early in the season, fans noticed subtle changes in how Ozuna was used late in games. Despite his strong offensive output, the team often pulled him on the bases. The explanation, it turns out, is far more serious than simple fatigue. The 34-year-old admitted he's been pushing through a hip issue for weeks. 'I've been kind of slow because I don't want to rotate, because my hip is kind of shut down a little bit,' Ozuna said. 'I had a tear (in the) right hip, so I just … keep battling. I'm trying to help my team. That's the most important thing. I want to be in the lineup every single day, and do everything for my team.' The injury has prompted questions about the Braves lineup and overall management strategy. General Manager Alex Anthopoulos noted that while Ozuna will continue to play, he'll have to manage the injury for the rest of the season. Despite minimal rest, Ozuna continues to deliver with a .284 batting average, 10 home runs, and a .901 OPS—production that ranks among the league's top designated hitters. This situation could affect more than just game-to-game availability. With Ozuna in the final year of his deal, MLB trade rumors are heating up. If Atlanta falters further in the standings, moving their designated hitter—despite his injury—could net key prospects for a reset. Advertisement Fans and analysts are frustrated by the lack of transparency. The team first called Ozuna's injury minor inflammation. Only now has the real issue—a torn hip—been revealed. The poor communication stands out in a season already filled with setbacks for Atlanta. Jurickson Profar is suspended, and Ronald Acuña Jr. just returned on May 23rd after nearly a year recovering from a torn ACL. While the Braves continue to lean on Ozuna's bat, his health casts a long shadow over both the rest of the season and what comes next.

Braves Face Brutal Marcell Ozuna Decision After Injury News
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Atlanta Braves have endured a disappointing start to the season and things might have just gotten worse. After opening the year without superstars Ronald Acuna Jr. or Spencer Strider, the Braves limped to a 27-31 record going into Tuesday and they sit in fourth place in the National League East division, in serious danger of seeing their playoff streak come to an end. And now another one of their best players is dealing with a significant injury. "I've been kind of slow because I don't want to rotate, because my hip is kind of shut down a little bit," Marcell Ozuna revealed amid a marked power drought at the plate, per David O'Brien of The Athletic. "I had a tear (in the) right hip, so I just ... keep battling. I'm trying to help my team." Though Ozuna is committed to staying in the lineup, the Braves might be forced into a brutal decision for the fan favorite, particularly given his contract situation. After signing a four-year, $65 million deal with the Braves, Ozuna is on a final season with the team before he has the chance to become a free agent.

ATLANTA, GA - MAY 06: Marcell Ozuna #20 of the Atlanta Braves signs an autograph after the game against the Cincinnati Reds at Truist Park on May 6, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Matthew Grimes Jr./) More Grimes/Getty Facing a significant injury and that contract status, the Braves might opt to move Ozuna out of the lineup in the near future or, ultimately, cut ties with him at the end of the year. "Given his injury, it just feels like malpractice to keep running him out there every single (day) when you have two bats in Sean Murphy and Drake Baldwin that are vying for playing time at the moment," Eric Cole pointed out for FanSided. "In addition to the short-term concerns, there is the matter of Ozuna's long-term future with the Braves to consider. ... With the slugger now dealing with a hip injury which can be serious and can linger, one wonders if the chances of re-signing Ozuna (even if the team wanted to) have also taken a major hit." One way or another, the news of Ozuna's malady could lead to a harsh move in Atlanta as the season slips away. More MLB: Dodgers $136.5 Million Ace 'Frustrated' By Lack of Progression During Rehab
