Blue Jays' Josh Donaldson: Wins AL Player of the Week

A three-home run week helped Donaldson beat out fellow Blue Jays Edwin Encarnacion and Michael Saunders to earn the AL Player of the Week award for the fourth time in his career.

Analysis:

Donaldson went 12 for 27 with three homers, four doubles, a triple and nine runs driven in to win the award for the first time in 2016. The 30-year-old led the league in total bases (27) and extra-base hits (8) for the week ending June 19 and tied for first in slugging percentage (1.000). After a somewhat slow start (by his standards), Donaldson looks more like the reigning MVP at the start of summer.
