HOUSTON -- Major League Baseball announced today that Houston Astros 3B Alex Bregman has been named the American League Player of the Week for the week of April 7-10. This marks the second career AL Player of the Week award for Bregman and his first this season. His other weekly award came in July of 2018.

For the week, Bregman batted .429 (6x14) with two home runs, six RBI, four runs and a 1.286 OPS (.429 OBP. /.857 SLG.). The Astros third basemen recorded a multi-RBI game in all three of his starts last week.
