Quad Cities River Bandits outfielder Ross Adolph has been named the Midwest League Player of the Week for the week of June 17-23. He has received the honor for a second consecutive week. Adolph is the only River Bandits position player to earn a weekly award in 2019. Jose Bravo, Shawn Dubin, Luis Garcia and Cody Deason have each been named pitcher of the week previously.

Five of his seven hits went for extra-bases as he racked up three doubles, a triple and a home run. Adolph drove in a pair of runs and scored four of his own. He finished Thursday's game a triple shy of the cycle after being thrown out at third base on his fourth and final hit of the night.
