The
MLB Players of the Week
results are out, and it is quite shocking, as one of the players was the center of controversy this week. However, the results clearly indicate that the honors are given based on how the players have performed and not on the basis of the controversies they were a part of. Who won the Players of the Week? It's none other than
Rafael Devers
from the
Boston Red Sox
and
Freddie Freeman
from the
Los Angeles Dodgers
.
Rafael Devers' performance this week
Despite being a part of the recent controversy related to switching positions in the team, Devers has managed to keep his performance intact, which showed when MLB announced him as the AL Player of the Week.
In the past week alone, Devers went 10-21, hit 2 home runs, 8 RBIs, and managed to up his OPS to 1.386. Devers currently plays as the designated hitter for the Boston Red Sox and has managed to perform far better than when he was playing third base.

The past 15 games, when Devers was dealing with off-field drama, he managed to score 5 home runs, 5 doubles, 17 RBI, and had 1.277 OPS. His batting average went to .424, and he's currently in the same hitting zone.
Freddie Freeman as the NL Player of the Week
Freddie Freeman managed to take the NL Player of the Week title through his brilliant on-field performance. In the past week, Freeman went 14-28, scored 3 home runs, 12 RBIs, and had a 1.500 OPS, which is quite remarkable.
His performance on the Mother's day was exceptionally well, as he went 4-for-4, with 2 doubles, and a home run, which increased his batting average to .376. His OPS till May 11, 2025 was 1.171, which helped increase his weekly OPS.
What's remarkable about the Dodgers' star player is that, despite playing for 16 seasons in MLB, he is one of the strongest and most reliable player of his team. Moreover, his dedication towards the game can be clearly seen through the way he performs directly after getting physiotherapy for his injured ankle.
The Players of the Week announcement by MLB made it clear that it keeps players' performances above all controversies and knows how to honor the best ones in the field.
