Two Philadelphia Phillies prospects — 1B/3B Zach Green and southpaw Ranger Suarez of the Double-A Reading Fightin Phils — swept the Eastern League's weekly awards, as they were respectively named Monday as the Player and Pitcher of the Week for June 18-24.

Green, 24, tallied one single, three doubles, one triple, five home runs, eight runs, four walks and 13 RBIs in seven games. Green homered in four straight games and collected at least one hit in each of the contests.

Suarez, 22, went 2-0 in 14 innings with seven strikeouts, a 0.64 ERA and one complete game. MLBPipeline.com ranks Suarez is ranked as the No. 9 Phillies prospect. Suarez previously earned Pitcher of the Week honors earlier this season, April 16-22.
