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.
