FACTS/FLUKES: Perez, Polanco, Mancini, Kopech, Cortes

Perez starts slow ... Salvador Perez (C, KC) had a huge season in 2021, when he tied for the league lead with 48 home runs and contributed a .273 BA and 121 RBI. This year has been a different story, as he's hitting just .204 with five homers through 108 PA. Is there reason to believe he's about to return to form?
