Kwan went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan reached double-digit homers for the first time in his three-year career, opening the scoring with a third-inning solo shot. The outfielder has added a .347/.401/.507 slash line with 28 RBI, 57 runs scored and six stolen bases through 74 contests this season. He's been a little cooler in July, batting .278 (20-for-72) this month, though he has hit three of his homers over those 18 games.

Kwan went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 7-0 win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
MLB's batting average leader at .354 -- 26 points ahead of second-place Bobby Witt -- Kwan came flying out of the All-Star break with his first multi-hit performance since July 9. The 26-year-old outfielder only has six steals in 10 attempts this season, a disappointing showing after he went 21-for-24 on the basepaths in 2023, but he has successfully swiped bags in back-to-back games and could make an impact in the category in the second half.

Kwan went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
This was Kwan's first steal since June 25 and his fifth of the campaign on nine attempts. Given he missed a month with a hamstring issue, it's not a surprise he's been a bit more cautious on the basepaths. The outfielder is batting .283 in July and now has a .352/.407/.512 slash line with nine home runs, 27 RBI, 55 runs scored, 14 doubles and two triples through 308 plate appearances this year.

Kwan went 3-for-5 with a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-8 extra-inning win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan was one of three Guardians, along with Jose Ramirez and Josh Naylor, to log three hits Tuesday. That trio set the table for a potent offensive showing in the high-scoring game, just one day after Monday's 1-0 victory for the Tigers. Kwan is batting .324 (11-for-34) in July across eight games, and he's slashing .363/.418/.531 with nine home runs, 27 RBI, 54 runs scored and four stolen bases over 64 contests this season.

Kwan went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan has gone deep in two of his last three games, and he's hit five homers over his last 17 contests while batting .294 (20-for-68) in that span. While he's cooled off from flirting with a .400 batting average in mid-to-late June, he continues to impress with his consistency at the plate. The outfielder has a .365/.421/.542 slash line for the year while adding nine homers, 27 RBI, 52 runs scored and four stolen bases over 61 contests.

Kwan went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and walked in a run during Thursday's 8-4 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan reached base four times Thursday and tagged Jared Shuster for a homer in the second inning. The outing was Kwan's first three-hit game since June 16 and his 12th of the season. MLB's leader in batting average, Kwan is slashing .367/.424/.538 with 50 runs across 265 plate appearances.

Kwan went 1-for-5 with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 10-8 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan has let his bat do the talking since he returned from a hamstring injury, going 33-for-75 (.440) over his last 19 contests. Predictably, he hasn't tried his luck much on the bases, going 1-for-2 in stolen base attempts in that span. He's now at a .385/.443/.563 slash line with seven home runs, 24 RBI, 48 runs scored and four steals over 51 contests, and it's safe to assume his speed will remain down given his history of hamstring issues.

Kwan went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan is up to a career-high seven homers this season, and three of them have come in the last five games. The outfielder has logged seven multi-hit efforts over his last 11 contests as well. The power probably won't last, as Kwan remains focused on making smart contact. He's at a stellar .390/.448/.575 slash line with 23 RBI, 46 runs scored and three stolen bases over 49 games.

Kwan went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan saw a 14-game hitting streak end Friday with an 0-for-4 performance, but he rebounded nicely Saturday. The homer was his third in June, and he's added six doubles, 10 RBI and 16 runs scored this month. The outfielder has matched his career high with six long balls, and with over half of the season to go, he has a reasonable chance at double digits. He's slashing a fantastic .390/.449/.564 with 22 RBI, 45 runs scored, three stolen bases, 12 doubles and two triples over 48 contests.

Kwan went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 8-0 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan got things going early, walking and scoring a run in the first inning then hitting a two-run homer in the second. He later added a single in the sixth. Kwan continues to rake since his return from a hamstring injury May 31, extending his hitting streak to 13 games with eight multi-hit efforts in that span. On the season, he is hitting a ridiculous .397 with five home runs, 20 RBI and 41 runs scored in 205 plate appearances.
