Major League Baseball is expected to open an investigation into Ozuna following his arrest, ESPN's Jeff Passan reports. He could be subject to the league’s domestic-violence policy and faces a potential suspension.

Ozuna was previously placed on the IR list as he will miss at least six weeks because of the two fingers he fractured while helping the Braves claim a 3-1 win over the Red Sox on Tuesday night at Fenway Park.
