FACTS/FLUKES: Rizzo, Suárez, García, Urías, Wainwright

Rizzo slow out of the gate ... Anthony Rizzo (1B, CHC) doesn't offer a huge ceiling, but has always delivered some pretty solid power production, along with a helpful batting average and a little bit of speed. He came at a discount in late drafts after July back soreness sidelined him for a couple of weeks, and has struggled to this point. Should owners be confident he can return to form soon?
