Kwan went 0-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
While none of his contact resulted in a hit, Kwan was still able to contribute when he did reach base. The 25-year-old offers no power, but he's got more walks (18) than strikeouts (15) once again to help fuel a .269/.360/.319 slash line that comes with 11 RBI, 15 runs and eight steals in 30 games.

Kwan went 3-for-5 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan has four multi-hit efforts in his last seven games, and he's batting .387 (12-for-31) in that span. Only one of those hits, a double, has gone for extra bases. The outfielder is up to a .280/.373/.327 slash line with no home runs, seven stolen bases, 11 RBI, 13 runs scored, three doubles and a triple through 27 contests.

Kwan went 0-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
While Kwan's modest four-game hitting streak came to an end, he notched steals in consecutive contests for the third time already this season. The outfielder is up to seven thefts in eight attempts through 25 contests. While he's hitting a pedestrian .258, he's getting on base at a .357 clip, aided by a 13.9 percent walk rate. It appears he's in little danger of losing his spot atop the Guardians' order any time soon.

Kwan went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old has taken full advantage of MLB's rule changes to boost the running game, swiping six bags in seven attempts through 25 games after going 19-for-24 in 147 games as a rookie in 2022. Kwan has yet to hit a homer this season though, and his .266/.355/.319 has been kept afloat by a 12.7 percent walk rate, giving him a limited fantasy profile.

Kwan went 3-for-4 with a double in Monday's 6-0 loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old did his job as the leadoff hitter, but unfortunately the rest of the Guardians' lineup went a combined 1-for-26 behind him. Kwan isn't having quite the same success on balls in play so far in 2023 that he did last year, but he's still reaching base at a strong clip, slashing .267/.358/.322 with five steals, 10 runs and 11 RBI through 23 games.

Kwan went 2-for-5 with two RBI, a run scored and one steal in Sunday's loss against Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan, serving as the DH Sunday, tied the game 2-2 with an RBI single in the third inning before stealing second and scoring on a Josh Bell double. Kwan would add a second RBI in the seventh, driving in Will Brennan with another base hit. The two-hit game snapped an 0-for-8 stretch for the 25-year-old Kwan. He's now slashing .259/.362/.310 with five RBI, eight runs scored and five stolen bases early in the season.

Kwan went 0-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
It's still early in the season, but Kwan appears to be in a sophomore slump. He's gone just 2-for-18 over the last five games, dropping his season average to .246 through 15 contests overall. Despite the lackluster hitting, Kwan remains in the leadoff spot. He's picked up four steals in five attempts while adding eight RBI and seven runs scored. With Myles Straw both hitting and running well to start the season, Kwan may need to get things turned around quickly to stay at the top of the order.

Kwan went 0-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 3-2 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan went hitless for the third time in 11 games this season, and he left seven runners on base. On the bright side, he was able to draw multiple walks for the second contest in a row, and his run ended up being the Guardians' margin of victory. The contact-hitting outfielder is slashing a solid .283/.364/.370 with eight RBI, two steals and five runs scored.

Kwan went 2-for-4 with a triple, a pair of walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan picked up his second steal of the season in the 10th inning after getting aboard with an intentional walk. The outfielder has hit safely in eight of 10 games so far. He's slashing .302/.360/.495 with eight RBI and four runs scored while serving as the Guardians' leadoff hitter.

Kwan went 2-for-5 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in a 6-4 extra-inning win against the Athletics on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan has been very productive from the leadoff spot this season, as he extended his hitting streak to six games with Wednesday's performance. It was his third straight multi-hit game and fourth overall through seven contests this season. Perhaps the only disappointing aspect of Kwan's performance thus far is that he hadn't attempted any thefts prior to Wednesday, but he was active on the basepaths in the victory, stealing one base and getting picked off on another occasion. The outfielder tallied 19 thefts in 24 attempts last season, and though he has minimal power, his ability to get on base and collect steals gives him some appeal in most fantasy leagues.
