FACTS/FLUKES: Castellanos, Kimbrel, DeShields, F. Hernandez, A. Gordon

Castellanos HR total disappointing... After hitting 18 HR in only 411 AB in 2016, and 26 HR in 2017, many fantasy owners expected continued power growth for Nick Castellanos (3B/OF, DET) in 2018 during his age 26 season. With only nine HR in the middle of June, can we expect more from Castellanos the rest of the season, or is this HR pace his ceiling?
