Kwan went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 6-0 loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan led off the game with a single, but that was the Guardians' lone hit of the contest. Prior to Thursday, Kwan had gone just 1-for-20 over his last five games, though the Guardians have struggled in general during their road trip with stops in Milwaukee and New York. The outfielder is up to 11 steals on 15 attempts while slashing .310/.371/.457 through 101 contests this season.

Kwan went 0-for-4 with three walks, a stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 9-5 extra-innings win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan was held hitless for the fourth time in six games, which has put a damper on his usually-elite on-base numbers. In August, he's batting .221 (15-for-68) with 11 walks and four steals over 18 contests. The outfielder is now at a .313/.375/.462 slash line with 13 home runs, 10 steals, 36 RBI and 71 runs scored across 99 games this season. With only modest contributions outside of batting average and runs, he's tough to keep in fantasy lineups when he's in a slump.

Kwan went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two walks and two total runs scored in Monday's 9-8 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan has homered twice over the last three games, adding four RBI and three runs scored in that span. The outfielder is batting .279 (12-for-43) over 12 contests in August after hitting just .250 in July. He's still not back to where he was early in the season, but he's not in a slump either. For the year, he's at a .326/.386/.485 slash line with 13 homers, 36 RBI, 69 runs scored and nine stolen bases through 93 contests.

Kwan went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a 2-1 win against Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
It looked like the game could be headed for plenty of scoring when Kwan led off the contest with a solo shot, but that ended up being one of just three runs produced in the matchup. The long ball was Kwan's 12th of the campaign through 91 games, which doubles his previous season high of six set across 147 contests in 2022. In addition to the increased power, Kwan has also shown improvement in his ability to rack up hits -- he ranks second in the majors with a .326 batting average after hitting just .268 last season.

Kwan is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan had been in line to receive a day off Tuesday, but that game was ultimately postponed due to inclement weather. The 26-year-old will now get the chance to rest up for the second game of the twin bill after he occupied his usual spot atop the lineup and in left field in the Guardians' 7-3 loss earlier in the day, going 1-for-4 with a run scored. Angel Martinez will check in for Kwan in left field.

Kwan is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan will get his first true day off since June 7, taking a seat against southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez and the Diamondbacks. Angel Martinez will fill left field while Josh Naylor slots in at DH. Kwan is slashing .334/.392/.487 across 382 plate appearances this season.

Kwan went 2-for-3 with two walks, one RBI, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan is 5-for-14 with five walks and three steals over four contests to begin August. The outfielder had just two thefts over 25 games in July. He dealt with a hamstring injury earlier in the campaign, but he appears to be comfortable enough to up his impact on the basepaths moving forward. Kwan is slashing .333/.392/.482 with 11 home runs, nine steals, 32 RBI, 64 runs scored, 14 doubles and two triples over 85 contests this season.

Kwan went 1-for-4 with a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 8-4 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan picked up his first steal since July 19. Over his last 14 games, the outfielder has been uncharacteristically quiet at the plate, batting just .232 (13-for-56), though he has swatted two home runs in that span. He's at a .332/.385/.484 slash line with 11 homers, seven steals, 31 RBI and 60 runs scored over 83 contests this season.

EDGE Analysis

The outfielder is up to 11 homers in 2024, matching his total from the previous two years combined.
