Teixeira got on base safely in all seven New York games in the week ending Sunday and had a .633 on-base percentage during that span as the Yankees went 6-1. He also drove in eight runs while producing a .905 slugging percentage.
It is the fifth career weekly award for Teixeira, who has 30 home runs, the seventh straight season he's reached the mark.
Others considered for the award included Teixeira teammate Curtis Granderson, Seattle's Felix Hernandez and David Aardsma, Blue Jays second baseman Aaron Hill and Angels starter Ervin Santana.
