B.J. Upton takes AL weekly honor

Player of the Week for the period ending June 21.

Upton hit .429 in six games last week, tallying a AL-best nine RBI and two home runs in the process. The two-time winner of the award posted a .750 slugging percentage and went 4-for-6 with four RBI on Sunday to lead the Rays over the Mets.

Others considered for this week's honor included Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera, Texas Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler, and Seattle Mariners right-hander Felix Hernandez.
