The marathon MLB season has been reduced to a sprint. For the clubs still in the hunt, every game matters—a lot.
For Bleacher Report’s MLB Team of the Week, on the other hand, all that matters is the recent past.
Here are 10 players—one per position, including a pitcher and designated hitter—who’ve busted box scores over the past seven days.
To qualify, a player needs to have made at least two starts at the position in question, or one start in the case of pitchers.
And while this is primarily about individual output, we dole out bonus points for gaudy stats that led to ticks in the win column.
Limber up your commenting muscles, slap some pine tar off your proverbial helmet and proceed when ready.
