ANAHEIM, Calif. – Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. has been named American League Player of the Week for the period of June 19-25, his first career weekly honor.

Robert Jr., 25, batted .444/.524/1.111 (8-18) with four home runs, five RBI and six runs scored over six games last week. He recorded his fifth career multihomer game yesterday in a 4-1 victory over Boston and hit a game-tying solo shot in Saturday’s 5-4 win over the Red Sox.

Robert Jr. is batting .269/.326/.559 (77-286) with 20 doubles, 21 homers, 42 RBI and 51 runs scored in 76 games this season. He ranks among the AL leaders in home runs (2nd), extra-base hits (2nd, 41), slugging percentage (3rd), total bases (3rd, 160), defensive runs saved (3rd, 9), OPS (5th, .885), runs scored (T5th) and doubles (T7th) while playing in all but three of Chicago's 79 games.

Robert Jr. is one of five players in White Sox history (eight times) to record 20-plus doubles and homers before the All-Star Break, joining Frank Thomas (1993-94, 2003), José Abreu (2014, '19), Jermaine Dye (2008) and Magglio Ordóñez (2000). His 21 home runs are the most by a Sox player in the first half since Abreu (21) in 2019.

Robert Jr. is the first Sox position player to be named AL Player of the Week since Abreu from May 24-30, 2021 and the first Sox outfielder to win the award since Eloy Jiménez from September 9-15, 2019.
