FACTS/FLUKES: Verlander, Andrus, Eaton, P. Hughes, S. Castro

Verlander Act II…After spending the first 2.5 months of 2015 on the DL with a triceps strain Justin Verlander (RHP, DET) looked rusty when we examined him 5 starts into the season. However, the former MVP and Cy Young award winner soon found his footing and posted a 2.80 ERA and 1.00 WHIP after the All Star break. Is Verlander back to his old self?
