Posted June 01, 2021 1:00 am
For the sixth time in his career, Jose Abreu was named American League Player of the Week on Monday.
From May 24-30, Abreu batted .375 (9-for-24) and had 2 doubles, 2 home runs, 10 RBI and 4 walks.
Abreu last won AL Player of the Week honors in August of 2020, when he hit .533 (16-for-30) with 3 doubles, 7 homers and 15 RBI. Six of those home runs came in a three-game series against the Cubs at Wrigley Field (Aug. 21-23).
Heading into Tuesday's play, Abreu led the majors with 46 RBI. The 34-year-old first baseman is looking to join the Tigers' Cecil Fielder (1990-92) as the only hitters to lead the AL in RBI in three straight seasons.
