Youkilis named American League Player of the Week

The Sox' Kevin Youkilis was named the American League's Player of the Week for the period May 5-11.

Over that stretch, Youkilis batted .375 (12 for 32) with three doubles, five homers and 10 homers for a slugging percentage of .938. He led the league in extra-base hits and total bases for the week.

Youkilis had five multiple-hit games in the seven games for the period, with at least one extra-base hit in five of the games.

This is the first time Youkilis has been honored as a Player of the Week.
