FACTS/FLUKES: M. Cabrera, Pineda, Castellanos, Karns, Smoak

Can Cabrera rebound? ... His name has been etched on fantasy leaderboards for over a decade, but Miguel Cabrera (1B, DET) is off to one of the worst starts of his career in 2017. He's suffered through a pair of muscle strains (groin, oblique) while hitting just .248 with 4 HR through 105 AB. Is our finger on the panic button?
