Donaldson, Carrasco win Comeback Player of the Year Awards
Former Atlanta Braves third baseman Josh Donaldson has won the National League Comeback Player of the Year Award, the MLB Network announced Wednesday.
Cleveland Indians right-hander Carlos Carrasco was the recipient of the American League honor.
Donaldson, 33, put up a monster season for the Braves in 2019 after multiple injuries limited him to only 52 games during the 2018 campaign. The 2015 AL MVP hit 37 home runs while posting a .900 OPS in 155 contests for the NL East champions.
Carrasco, meanwhile, returned to the Indians in September after a three-month stint on the injured list following a Leukemia diagnosis. He pitched in 11 games coming out of Cleveland's bullpen.
The 32-year-old also won the Roberto Clemente Award in October for best representing Major League Baseball on and off the field.
