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 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.

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.

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.
