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.

Kwan went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and five RBI in Friday's 9-4 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

The Guardians' leadoff hitter was at his pesky best, seeing 38 total pitches across his six plate appearances. Kwan put his team in the lead for good in the fourth inning with a two-run double that he slashed just inside the foul line past third base. He also chipped in a sacrifice fly and a two-run single. Kwan's .298 batting average last season was buoyed by a .323 BABIP, but given his contact-heavy approach, those numbers seem eminently repeatable in 2023.

Kwan has gone 3-for-12 with two runs scored and two strikeouts across four Cactus League games.

EDGE Analysis

There's little reason to worry about Kwan's performance at the plate in the spring. He posted a 62:60 BB:K last year while slashing .298/.373/.400 and stealing 19 bases across 147 games. He could regress a slight amount from his .323 BABIP as a rookie last year, but his sharp eye at the plate and contact hitting should keep him in the leadoff role barring a significant slump.

Kwan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kwan started the past 12 games and will take a seat after he posted a 1.088 OPS with two home runs, 12 RBI and 13 runs scored during that span. Will Brennan will shift to left field while Oscar Gonzalez starts in right.

Kwan went 3-for-5 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Kwan supplied an RBI single in the fourth inning and scored on hits by Jose Ramirez in the third and 11th frames. This was the seventh multi-hit effort in 10 games for Kwan, who is batting a stellar .458 (22-for-48) in that span. The rookie outfielder is up to a .301/.376/.402 slash line with six home runs, 50 RBI, 86 runs scored and 19 stolen bases through 140 contests.

Kwan went 3-for-5 with a home run, five RBI, two runs scored and two steals in Sunday's 10-4 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Kwan's big day Sunday was capped by a grand slam in the top of the eighth inning to put Cleveland up 10-2 and all but seal the game. His five RBI and two stolen bases were both career highs. Additionally, with six total bases on the day, his slugging percentage improved to .400 on the season, the highest it's been since May 14.
