Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager was named the American League Player of the Week on Monday, the MLB announced.
This is Seager's second time winning the award, his first while a member of the Rangers. He first won the award as a Dodger in 2019.
Seager is the first Ranger to capture player of the week honors since Adolis Garcia won in April 2021.
Seager batted .500 with four home runs and 9 RBIs last week, leading the AL in average, home runs and total bases (23). Seager ended the week with a home run in each game of the three-game set against Minnesota, matching the longest homer streak of his career.
