FACTS/FLUKES: Ozuna, Peraza, Santana, Ray, Wheeler

Ozuna mashing ... Marcell Ozuna (OF, MIA) put together a monster first half in 2016, hitting .311 with 17 homers. But after a June wrist injury cropped up, he faded badly in the second half (.212, 6 HR). He's come out of the gate strong again in 2017. Is there reason to believe he can keep it up this time?
