Sacramento River Cats News Release
West Sacramento, Calif. - Sacramento River Cats infielder Jason Vosler was named Triple-A West Player of the Week for June 28 - July 4. He joins right-hander Shun Yamaguchi (May 17 - May 23), outfielder Bryce Johnson (May 4 - May 9) and first baseman/outfielder Joe McCarthy (May 31 - June 6) as fellow River Cats to win the award this season.
Vosler's 3-for-5 day on Sunday capped off his stellar week, bringing his six-game total to 12-for-25 (.480) with a 1.501 OPS, nine runs, two doubles, three home runs, 13 RBIs, and six walks while starting at five different positions.

He made his major-league debut on April 24, and has since played 27 games with the Giants, batting .222 with four doubles, three home runs, seven RBIs, and 10 runs scored.
This is Vosler's third Player of the Week honor, having achieved the mark the weeks of June 18, 2017 with the Tennessee Smokies (Double-A), and May 15, 2016 with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans (High-A).
