ST. LOUIS — According to Andy Slater of Fox Sports 640 in Miami, former Cardinals outfielder and current Atlanta Braves slugger Marcell Ozuna was injured in a domestic incident with his wife, Genesis.

According to Slater, Ozuna's wife allegedly hit him in the face with a soap dish, cutting him.

Slater said Genesis Ozuna was arrested after a two week police investigation and charged with domestic battery.

TMZ Sports posted Genesis Ozuna's booking photo and said she had pleaded not guilty to the charge.
