Fielder wins AL Comeback Player of the Year Award

"It's really awesome," Fielder said on MLB Network. "It was a lot of hard work to get back and be able to play."

Acquired from Detroit on Nov. 20, 2013, Fielder played in just 42 games for the Rangers in 2014, hitting .247 with three home runs and 15 RBIs. His last game was on May 16 before undergoing season-ending surgery on May 27 for a cervical fusion of the C5-C6 discs in his neck.

"At first, it was just a lot of stuff for my neck and stuff for my shoulder to allow me to stop using my upper body," Fielder said.
