Infielder Jose Miranda of the Minnesota Twins has been voted the American League Rookie of the Month for July, and pitcher Spencer Strider of the Atlanta Braves has been voted the National League Rookie of the Month for July.

Miranda earned his first career monthly award and is Minnesota’s first Rookie of the Month winner since his All-Star teammate Miguel Sanó in August 2015. Strider was similarly awarded his first monthly award and is Atlanta’s second consecutive rookie winner, following his teammate Michael Harris II. This marks the first time since Evan Gattis in April-May 2013 that the Braves had consecutive Rookie of the Month winners.
