Kwan went 2-for-4 with a triple and run scored in Wednesday's win against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan ripped a leadoff triple to open the game in the top of the first inning, later coming around to score on a Jose Ramirez single.

Kwan (foot) will start in left field and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan was withheld from Saturday's 4-1 win after fouling a ball off his foot a night earlier, but his return to the lineup a day later implies that his one-game absence was likely precautionary. Since the beginning of July, the rookie has settled back into a groove at the plate, producing a .312 average and .354 on-base percentage while scoring 19 runs and adding four steals over a stretch of 33 games.

Kwan (foot) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan fouled a pitch off his left foot and exited Friday's game, and while the Guardians said his removal was precautionary, it would seem there is some lingering soreness. Andres Gimenez will move up to the leadoff spot against right-hander Luis Garcia as Will Benson takes over for Kwan in left field.

Kwan left Friday's game against the Astros with a left foot contusion, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
He fouled a pitch off his foot and was removed as a precaution. The timing of this injury is unfortunate, as it ends Kwan's 18-game hitting streak. He went 0-for-2 before exiting. Kwan hit .350 with one home run, six doubles and four steals during that hitting streak.
