Kwan went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan went back-to-back with Nolan Jones in the third inning. Beyond that, there wasn't much success for the Cleveland offense, as Kwan had half of the team's four hits. He has four multi-hit efforts over his last 10 games, going 11-for-36 (.306) in that span. The light-hitting outfielder is up to six homers, 23 RBI, 32 runs scored, nine stolen bases and a .308/.370/.435 slash line over 65 contests this season. He's locked in as Cleveland's regular leadoff hitter.

Kwan is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
The Guardians are facing lefty Nick Lodolo on Wednesday, marking the third straight day they've gone up against a southpaw. The lefty-swinging Kwan will get a rare day off in the series finale, after going hitless in the first two games against Cincinnati. Nolan Jones will start in left field and bat sixth as the Guardians try to avoid a sweep.

Kwan went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored during Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Astros in extra innings.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan put on a hitting display Saturday, notching three hits in a game for the seventh time on the season. The 27-year-old continues to show great bat-to-ball skills, evidenced by an 8.7 percent strikeout rate, the fourth-fewest in MLB, and the fact that he has only two fewer walks (21) than strikeouts (23). The left-handed leadoff hitter is slashing .314/.375/.435 on the season with 14 doubles and 21 RBI on the season.

Kwan is not in the Guardians' starting lineup against the Astros on Friday.

Kwan went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and a steal in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan doubled and singled in the third and fourth frames, respectively, before cutting the deficit to one run in the sixth on a solo home run to right field. It was the sixth time this season that Kwan has recorded at least three hits in a game, and four those games have come in May. He'll finish the month with a .308/.374/.413 slash line with four steals, eight doubles, one home run and five RBI in 115 plate appearances.

Kwan (wrist) is starting in left field and batting leadoff Friday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan departed Wednesday's matchup with the Dodgers due to right wrist inflammation, but he's good to go after the Guardians' team day off Thursday. The 27-year-old's production in May has taken a small step back after posting an .836 OPS in his first 30 games of 2025, but he still has a .298/.371/.372 slash line with three steals, four RBI and 10 runs in 24 contests this month.

Kwan exited Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to right wrist inflammation, Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nolan Jones replaced Kwan in left field to start the fourth inning, and we now know wrist inflammation is the reason for Kwan's departure. He can be considered day-to-day moving forward. The Guardians are off Thursday before starting a three-game homestand against the Angels on Friday.

Kwan was removed from Wednesday's game against the Dodgers for unknown reasons, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan was replaced by Nolan Jones in left field following the third inning, but it's unclear what prompted the change. Considering Kwan's everyday role and elite production, it's likely due to some injury or illness. We'll likely receive an update later Wednesday.

Kwan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
With opening pitch for Sunday's game at 11:35 a.m. EDT and Tarik Skubal on the hill for the Tigers, Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt likely decided that it was an ideal time to give the left-handed-hitting Kwan his first day off this season. Nolan Jones will cover Kwan's usual spot in left field, while Angel Martinez serves as the Guardians' table setter.

Kwan went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 3-1 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan bookended Cleveland's scoring, as he doubled and scored the team's first run in the first inning, and then drove in its final run in the ninth. The outfielder's logged five games with at least three hits this season and has raised his average to .322 through 50 contests. The run batted in was his first in 14 games and his 18th RBI overall.
