Twins first baseman Justin Morneau was named American League Player of the Week today, after batting .480 (12-for-25) with four home runs, and 26 total bases in six games last week.

It is Morneau’s second time winning the award, with the other coming July 9, 2007. For winning the award, Morneau wins an engraved Swiss Tourneau timepiece. Atlanta Braves infielder Martin Prado received National League honors this week.

Update: It sounds like the Twins won’t have an update on Kevin Slowey until Tuesday. Slowey had his right wrist examined today in Baltimore.
