Marlins' Marcell Ozuna: Limps off field Monday
Ozuna appeared to injure his right hamstring and limped off the field following his final at-bat during Monday's loss to the Cardinals, Craig Davis of the Sun-Sentinel reports. "When I got out of the batter's box it felt like it was getting tight," Ozuna said after the game. "But I'm OK. That's happened most of the time. But at times it's a little harder, not like it's going to pull so bad, but a little bit."
The Marlins left fielder slugged two more homers Monday, giving him 11 on the season, and the team can ill afford to lose him after seeing starting third baseman Martin Prado (hamstring) and utility man Miguel Rojas (thumb) land on the DL over the weekend. Ozuna thinks he'll be able to play Tuesday, but don't be surprised if he's given a day or two to rest in an attempt to prevent the issue from getting worse.
