The Royals entered action Monday four games back of the second AL Wild Card spot.

Morales, 33, posted two multihit games last week, including a two-homer performance in Kansas City's 10-3 romp of Minnesota on Tuesday. He also knocked out three hits the following day in a 6-5 loss.

Morales closed the week with a solo homer in Sunday's 2-0 win in Chicago.

This is Morales' fourth career weekly honor and second of the season, the other coming for the week of July 3.
