Misner went 10-for-24 (.417 average) at the plate during Omaha’s road series against the Columbus Clippers.

He also posted a Triple-A-best 1.167 slugging percentage and 1.648 OPS, while adding 2 stolen bases, 2 walks and four multi-hit games in the series.
In his fourth Triple-A season and his first with Omaha, Misner is hitting .278 (59-for-212) with a .925 OPS through 58 games in 2026. He leads Omaha and ranks 2nd in the International League in runs batted in (51), while tied 3rd in the league in extra-base hits (30), tied 5th in doubles (15) and tied 6th in total bases (117).

The Poplar Bluff, Missouri native appeared in 79 games with the Rays over the last two seasons, after making his MLB Debut in August 2024. This marks Misner’s first career Player of the Week honor; he was previously named a Southern League Postseason All-Star in 2022 and an Arizona Fall League Rising Star in 2021.
Misner is the third Storm Chasers player to earn a weekly award this season after John Rave claimed International League Player of the Week for the week of April 6 to 12 and Aaron Sanchez was named the IL Pitcher of the Week for the week of May 4 to 10.
Right-hander Brendan Beck of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (Triple-A, New York Yankees) was named the International League Pitcher of the Week after tossing 7.0 no-hit innings with 6 strikeouts as part of a combined no-hitter on Friday, June 5 at Syracuse.
