MLB made the announcement Monday.

Alonso earns the National League Rookie of the Month Award for the third time this season after posting a .245/.322/.585 slash line with 11 homers -- his most in any calendar month all year -- over 27 games in September.

The 24-year-old slugged his 53rd homer of the season on Saturday to set a Major League rookie record.

Jiménez, meanwhile, takes home American League honors after crushing nine home runs and collecting 25 RBIs while hitting .340/.383/.710 over 24 games in September. After getting off to a slow start, the 22-year-old ended up eclipsing the 30-homer mark.
