Kwan is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Kwan, who has gone 3-for-31 at the plate over his last 10 games and is now sitting on a .244 average for the season, will take a seat with southpaw Daniel Lynch on the hill for the Royals. The righty-hitting Oscar Mercado replaces Kwan in the Cleveland outfield.

Kwan went 1-for-3 with a triple, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 7-3 win over the Royals. He was also hit by a pitch.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan hasn't done a lot of running in his rookie year -- he's now 2-for-3 in stolen base attempts. The outfielder never had more than 11 steals in a minor-league campaign. He entered Monday on a 2-for-28 skid in his last nine games. For the season, he has a .244/.349/.350 slash line with a home run, 13 RBI, 21 runs scored, one triple and six doubles while seeing regular time in the corner outfield positions.

Kwan isn't starting Thursday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan started in three of the last four games and went 2-for-11 with a strikeout, but he'll get a breather with left-hander Tarik Skubal on the mound Thursday. Oscar Gonzalez will start in right field and bat sixth while making his major-league debut.

Kwan will sit Tuesday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan burst onto the scene with eight hits in his first three games, but since then, he's hit a very pedestrian .212/.310/.303. As a result, he seems to have slipped into something close to a platoon role, as his off day here against Framber Valdez means he's now sat against five of the last seven southpaws the Guardians have faced. Ernie Clement will start in left field while Oscar Mercado starts in right.

Kwan will sit Friday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan hits the bench against lefty Tarik Skubal, meaning he's now sat against six of the last nine southpaws the Guardians have faced. Ernie Clement will start in left field.

Kwan went 1-for-5 with a walk, three runs scored and a stolen base in Monday's 12-9 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan drew a walk and swiped second before coming around to score on an error in the first inning. It was his first career steal and he's now up to 19 runs scored this year after crossing home three times Monday. He's hitting 10-for-37 (.270) during his active nine-game hitting streak.

Kwan went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan tied the game at two in the third inning with his first career home run. He also extended his hitting streak to five games, during which he's racked up four RBI and three runs scored. Overall, Kwan has maintained an impressive .328/.423/.484 line across 78 plate appearances with a profile built on patience and contact ability.

Kwan is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Oscar Mercado will get the start in left field while the lefty-hitting Kwan retreats to the bench for the nightcap with southpaw MacKenzie Gore on the hill for San Diego. Kwan was in the lineup for the Guardians' 5-4 loss in Game 1, going 1-for-5 with an RBI.

Kwan (hamstring) went 2-for-4 in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan missed five games with right hamstring tightness, but it didn't slow him down at the plate. The rookie outfielder has enjoyed a meteoric rise to relevance this season, though the potential for regression looms. He's slashing .354/.459/.500 with seven RBI, 10 runs scored, a triple and five doubles in 15 games, but he has yet to hit his first big-league homer. Kwan's line is propped up by a 15.8 percent walk rate and a .386 BABIP -- the patience at the plate is sustainable, but the luck probably won't last all year.

Kwan (hamstring) is starting Saturday's game against Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan missed the last five games with right hamstring tightness, but he'll start in left field and bat second Saturday. Over his five appearances prior to his absence, he went 4-for-17 with three doubles, three runs, an RBI and a walk.
