Marcell Ozuna Dropped From the Cleanup Spot on Monday
7 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna is batting fifth on Monday instead of in the cleanup spot where he's been most of the season. Ozuna has had a rough start to the season and to his Cardinals career, but he was finally upping his batting average, going 10 for his last 18 over the past five games. All but one of those 10 hits were singles, though, and he's only hit three home runs so far this season. He's sure to heat up sooner or later, but he certainly wasn't doing the Cardinals offense any favors as a singles hitter in the cleanup spot.
