As reported by Jake earlier in the week, Marcell Ozuna will be participating in the Dominican Winter League. And thanks to Héctor Gómez, we now know he will be debuting tonight.
Marcell Ozuna will debut tonight with @Gigantes_Cibao in the Dominican Winter League, per @GrandesELD.
It will be his first game since May 25 when the #Braves faced the #RedSox at Fenway Park.@z101digital @ZDeportes pic.twitter.com/uth9sX3Ts7

We still have no idea what is going to happen to Marcell Ozuna. He has agreed to participate in a diversion program that, if completed, will dismiss all of his charges of domestic violence.
However, that doesn’t mean he is in the clear as far as Major League Baseball goes. There have been no reports regarding their investigation of Ozuna, but once it is completed, I expect some sort of suspension to be handed down. Still, the fact that he is getting back on the diamond means he probably expects to be playing sooner rather than later.
Will it be for the Braves? I have no clue. From past instances, we know it will be nearly impossible for them to void his contract. That doesn’t mean Alex Anthopoulos won’t attempt to trade him or even release him altogether, but there is a possibility that he is on the field for the Braves next season.
