You need to have a big week on offense to win the Player of the Week honors while playing just four games. Travis Swaggerty did just that, though he had a good excuse for not playing more games for Indianapolis. He found out that he was called up by the Pirates on Saturday, right before his was supposed to play that night. He did enough damage Tuesday through Friday, hitting .533/.632/1.067 in 19 plate appearances, with two doubles, two homers, seven RBIs and four walks. That was enough to earn him Pirates Prospects Player of the Week honors.
Swaggerty missed almost all of last season due to a shoulder injury.
