Polanco, who is playing on a surgically-repaired knee, is looking like the All-Star that the M's thought they were getting before the 2024 season.

Jorge Polanco of the Seattle Mariners was named the AL Player of the Week, posting a .471 average with four home runs, two doubles and eight RBI.

Mariners players have been honored with the AL Player of the Week award in consecutive weeks for the first time since Alex Rodriguez and Ken Griffey Jr. in 1998.
