The Sandy Springs, Georgia, police department arrested Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna on aggravated assault and misdemeanor battery charges Saturday.

Ozuna, 30, is charged with aggravated assault by strangulation under the Domestic Violence Act and battery under the Domestic Violence Act, according to Sandy Springs Police Department spokesman Sgt. Salvador Ortega.

At 12:26 p.m. on Saturday, police received a 911 call, requesting a response to a home on Windsor Cove regarding an assault in progress. The incident was between Ozuna and his wife, police say.

“As officers arrived to the home, they heard screaming coming from inside and noticed the front door wide open. Due to the exigency of the known facts, officers entered the residence through the open door and witnessed the suspect grabbing the victim by the neck and throwing her against a wall,” Ortega said.

“In addition to the strangulation attempts, the suspect also struck the victim with his arm which has a cast from a previous injury.”

The victim did have visible injuries but was not transported to the hospital.

Ozuna was booked into the Fulton County Jail.

The Atlanta Braves Saturday night released the following statement on Twitter.

“We learned of Marcell Ozuna’s arrest earlier this evening and immediately informed the Commissioner’s Office. The Braves fully support Major League Baseball’s policy on domestic violence which stresses to the fullest that our society cannot and will not tolerate domestic violence in any form. Until the investigation is completed, we will have no further comment and all inquiries into the matter should be referred to the Office of the Commissioner.”

Atlanta re-signed Ozuna, who joined the team as a free agent on a one-year contract in 2020, to a four-year, $64 million deal last February.

He's played 48 games for Atlanta this year and most recently took the field last Tuesday. However, Ozuna suffered fractured middle and ring fingers on his left hand while sliding in a road game against the Boston Red Sox that evening.

Atlanta placed him on the 10-day injured list, and Ozuna revealed on Instagram (h/t Kevin McAlpin of Braves Radio Network) that he would be out for six weeks.

Ozuna left the team during its road trip, which currently has Atlanta playing in New York against the Mets this weekend.

MLB is expected to open an investigation following Ozuna's arrest, per Passan, who also tweeted that the outfielder "could be subject to the league's domestic-violence policy," which includes a "potential suspension."
