Marcell Ozuna drove in the Marlins' only two runs with a two-RBI double in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.
The big two-out hit came in the sixth inning and was all the runs the Marlins needed in the pitchers' duel. Ozuna now has a modest five-game hitting streak going and is batting .297 over 18 games to go along with eight RBI. He's likely played his way into being kept on the big league roster after Giancarlo Stanton's return. May 19 - 4:11 PM

Marcell Ozuna hit his first career major league home run Saturday in the Marlins' win over the Phillies.

Ozuna took Cole Hamels deep with nobody on in the top of the second inning. The 22-year-old outfielder has posted some lofty numbers in the minor leagues and is now batting .389/.421/.667 in 19 plate appearances with the Fish. Go grab him in fantasy leagues.

Marcell Ozuna will bat sixth in his major league debut Tuesday night against the Mets.

Ozuna was called up from Double-A Jacksonville after Tuesday's game and will fill in for Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) in right field. The 22-year-old has serious power potential, but major league pitchers could exploit his shaky plate discipline. He's strictly an NL-only league option for now. The Marlins will have Placido Polanco, Greg Dobbs and Justin Ruggiano in the heart of their lineup on Tuesday night.

Marlins recalled outfielder Marcell Ozuna from Double-A Jacksonville.

Christian Yelich is still working his way back after missing time with plantar fasciitis, so Ozuna gets the call in Giancarlo Stanton's place. The 22-year-old had a .333/.383/.810 line in 10 games for Jacksonville. He'll likely strike out a ton during his major league stint, but he should hit for enough power to be of use in NL-only leagues while Stanton is out.

Marlins purchased the contract of OF Marcell Ozuna from High-A Jupiter.

Ozuna, 22, batted .266/.328/.476 with 24 home runs and 95 RBI in 129 games this past season at Jupiter. He could climb all the way to Triple-A next season.

Low Single-A Greensboro's Marcell Ozuna hit his fifth homer in the last five games on Wednesday.

Ozuna hit 21 homers in just 270 at-bats in the New York-Penn League last year, though that came with a .267 average and a 94/17 K/BB ratio. His power stroke is extremely impressive for a 20-year-old, but he's still a raw talent and the Marlins won't be quick to promote him.
