Kwan went 4-for-8 with a walk and a run scored across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
He went 2-for-4 in both contests, giving the outfielder six multi-hit efforts through 13 games in July. Kwan is slashing .288/.339/.346 this month while adding four RBI, three runs scored and three doubles. That's in line with his .285/.368/.362 slash line for the season, and his contact-focused approach has made him a reliable option as the Guardians' leadoff hitter.

Kwan went 3-for-6 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 13-1 rout of the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan has four multi-hit efforts in his last 11 games, though he's also posted five 0-fers in that stretch. The rookie outfielder has maintained a solid .279/.363/.361 slash line one home run, 23 RBI, 34 runs scored, five stolen bases, 11 doubles and three triples in 70 contests. There's not much power in his bat, but his steady eye (30:23 BB:K) has earned him a regular place atop the Guardians' lineup.

Kwan went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and an RBI on Wednesday against the Tigers.

Kwan doubled in a run in the fifth inning to record his 21st RBI of the season. He's been cold at the plate of late, hitting just .205 with four RBI and four runs scored across his last 11 games. Overall, Kwan has maintained a decent .274/.362/.350 line across 271 plate appearances, though he has only one home run and five stolen bases for the season.

Kwan isn't starting the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan led off in the first game of the twin bill and went 0-for-5 with an RBI and two strikeouts. He's now hitless in his last eight at-bats and will retreat to the bench while Ernie Clement starts in left field and Franmil Reyes gets the start in right field.

Kwan went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and three runs scored in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan went 0-for-6 with two walks in Tuesday's doubleheader, but he was able to get back to productive hitting Wednesday. The rookie outfielder has four multi-hit efforts in his last nine games, going 13-for-33 (.394) in that span. For the season, he's slashing .288/.374/.371 with one home run, 18 RBI, 32 runs scored and five steals in 60 contests. He should continue to regularly bat leadoff versus right-handed pitchers, and he could start to get more looks against southpaws if his bat stays hot.

Kwan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Kwan will take a seat against a lefty (Rich Hill) for the second time in four games, allowing the righty-hitting Ernie Clement to enter the lineup in left field. During his two starts in the series with Boston, Kwan went 3-for-8 with a walk, an RBI and a run.

Kwan isn't starting Thursday's series finale against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan has been red hot recently, going 7-for-13 with a triple, an RBI and three runs over his last three contests, but he will take a seat Thursday as the Guardians face Minnesota left-hander Drew Smeltzer. Franmil Reyes will get the start in left field and bat fifth in the series finale.

Kwan went 4-for-6 with a run scored in a 6-5 win over the Twins on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan caught the attention of fantasy managers with an offensive barrage on the season's opening weekend. After seeing his roster rate rise immediately afterwards, Kwan then cooled off considerably in May, slashing a weak .173/.271/.253 over the span of the month. He has since gotten back into a groove and after Tuesday's four-hit game he is now slashing .364/.400/.382 in June. He doesn't offer any power but the Guardians like to lead him off against right-handed pitching and he has shown he can hit for average in bursts.

Kwan is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Andre Knott of Bally Sports Ohio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan started the past two games despite facing a left-handed pitcher, but he'll take a seat Sunday with southpaw Andrew Heaney on the mound for Los Angeles. Oscar Mercado will start in left field and bat sixth for Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis
Kwan is in the midst of a five-game hit streak during which he's gone 9-for-19 with an RBI, two runs and two stolen bases, but he'll head to the bench Wednesday with southpaw Austin Gomber on the mound for Colorado. Oscar Mercado will start in left field and bat eighth.
