Ozuna's wife, Genesis, was arrested after a 2-week police investigation and charged with domestic battery.
The Braves declined to comment.
Ozuna signed a one-year, $18 million deal with the Braves this offseason. The team hoped he could replace some of the middle-of-the-order power lost when Josh Donaldson signed with Minnesota. If there isn't an MLB season, Ozuna would become a free agent without playing a regular-season game for the Braves.
