California League
Kyle Russell, Inland Empire

Kyle Russell earns his second Player of the Week nod, having clinched the honor for the week of April 19-25. Much as he did during that stretch, the Dodgers prospect spent this week consistently slapping out hard line drives. This time, many of them landed on the other side of Cal League fences. From Tuesday to Saturday, Russell homered in four consecutive games (he was out of the lineup Friday), driving in 14 runs in those contests. He collected five RBIs and was a triple short of the cycle on Wednesday and then repeated that performance Saturday. He cooled off with a 1-for-5, three-strikeout game Sunday, but his single did knock in a much-needed run for the 66ers, who ended up losing, 9-8, to Rancho Cucamonga. Russell's 15 RBIs led all of the Minor Leagues during the seven-day stretch.
