FACTS/FLUKES: Cruz, Price, M. Duffy, Paxton, and Hicks

Cruz powers up in June... After hitting 39 HR with 119 RBI in 2017, Nelson Cruz (DH, SEA) offered power in the top 60 picks in 2018 drafts. The slugger hit 10 HR with 27 RBI through the end of May, and he backed his .319, 11 HR, and 24 RBI performance in June with strong skills (141 BPV). What can we expect from the tier-one hitter (4255 and AAA reliability) for the rest of the season?
