Yasiel Puig has been named co-National League Player of the Week, sharing the honor with A.J. Pollock of Arizona.

Puig slugged .870 as he went 8 for 23 with three doubles and three homers, not to mention four walks and being hit by a pitch, in the most recent seven days of play.

The 23-year-old previously won this award by himself after his first week in the majors, for the week ending June 9, when he went 13 for 28 with two doubles and four homers. He had 10 RBI each time.

“Right now, he brings an energy we were missing,” backup catcher Ramon Hernandez told MLB.com at the time.

  1. We need #66 for the long haul this season… his bat will not only make him more dangerous, but lift the lineup of those around him…. he is a must if the Dodgers are to make a run at the WS this year…..
