FACTS/FLUKES: Merrifield, Glasnow, J. Abreu, Gallo, M. Perez

No worries for Merrifield…After two years of .300+ batting average, Whit Merrifield (2B/OF, KC) finds himself hovering well below that mark. He recently snapped out of a 2-for-34 (with no walks) skein – can he be counted on for his usual production in the coming weeks?
