What happened: Wilyer Abreu was named the American League Player of the Week after returning from the All-Star break. He logged a 1.685 OPS during his first games back in the lineup.

Why it matters: The recognition follows a stretch where Abreu went deep in back-to-back games. His production surge provides an immediate offensive spark for the lineup at the start of the second half.

What to watch: Abreu looks to carry this momentum at the plate into the upcoming week.
