Marcell Ozuna, once a DH staple, has become a liability — hitting just .193 with five homers and 23 RBIs in 51 games, slugging under .300 — and has been benched for 17 straight games. With injuries elsewhere, the team’s avoiding him entirely, turning to pinch-hitters and giving reps to O’Hearn and Reynolds instead. The offense is in survival mode, and Ozuna’s absence may be permanent. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
