You never expect an athlete to be injured after being hit in the face by a soap dish, but we’ve seen plenty of strange injuries over the years for MLB players.
Ozuna, 29, signed a one-year deal with the Braves earlier this offseason. He hit .241 with 29 homers and 89 RBIs in 130 games for the St. Louis Cardinals last season.
