Kwan went 2-for-4 with a double in Friday's 2-0 loss to Atlanta.

Kwan was the lone Guardian to record hits in the loss. August hasn't been kind to Kwan, who is slashing .211/.237/.298 over 13 games. The second-half drop-off in 2025 is similar to what happened last year, when Kwan recorded a .206/.316/.302 slash line after the All-Star break.

The light-hitting outfielder has homered three times over his last three games, and he has eight RBI over eight contests dating back to July 12.

Kwan went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a walk during Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan hadn't hit a home run since June 13, but he knocked out two for the first multi-homer game of his career Thursday. It was a rare display of power for the 27-year-old, who is up to just eight home runs on the year. He's much more known for his ability to get on base and limit strikeouts, slashing .287/.352/.410 on the season with 38 walks and just 35 strikeouts in 376 at-bats this season.

Kwan (wrist) will start in left field and bat leadoff in Monday's game versus the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan sat out each of the Guardians' first three games coming out of the All-Star break after receiving a pain-killing injection in his injured right wrist. However, the All-Star outfielder feels well enough to give it a go in Monday's series opener.

Kwan (wrist) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Kwan said Saturday that his wrist is doing much better after receiving a shot Wednesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. "I got the shot. It's been recovering well. Happy with the progression of it so far, so I'm cautiously optimistic about it," the outfielder said.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan's missed Cleveland's first two games coming out of the All-Star break, but it looks like he'll avoid a stint on the injured list. "I don't think this is an IL case at all. He's feeling better each day," Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt said Saturday. Kwan took swings and went through outfield drills prior to Saturday's game. While he's been out, Nolan Jones has handled left field.

Kwan (wrist) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup versus the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan is sitting out a second straight game due to a right wrist injury. The veteran outfielder was able to participate in Tuesday's All-Star Game, going 1-for-2 with an RBI and a stolen base, but the wrist issue had reportedly been bothering him since before that contest. With Kwan sitting Saturday, the Guardians' starting outfield consists of Nolan Jones, Angel Martinez and Johnathan Rodriguez from left to right.
