Kwan was lifted from Saturday's game against the Angels due to left hamstring tightness, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan looked to tweak his hamstring while chasing down a flyball in the top of the third inning and was removed prior to the top of the fourth. It's not clear at this point whether he might require an MRI, but the Guardians figure to offer an update on his condition after the game.

Kwan went 3-for-5 with a triple, a double and two RBI in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan's RBI triple in the fifth inning gave the Guardians a 2-0 lead, and he plated the decisive run with a double in the 10th. He ended up a home run short of the cycle in Wednesday's strong performance. The leadoff hitter has gone 11-for-28 (.393) during his seven-game hitting streak, and he's slashing an excellent .360/.403/.512 with three homers, 11 RBI, 27 runs scored, three stolen bases, six doubles and two triples over 29 contests this season.

Kwan went 2-for-5 with two runs and a stolen base Saturday in an extra-inning victory versus Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan's speed was on display throughout the contest, as neither of his base knocks left the infield and he crossed the plate on a steal of home in the eighth inning. The third-year outfielder had had an impressive beginning to the campaign, notching at least one hit in 17 of his 26 contests. He's slashing .345/.378/.469 with three homers, eight RBI, 25 runs and three thefts through 119 plate appearances.

Kwan went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
He led off the game by ripping a Chris Sale sinker down the right-field line, but not much else went right for the Guardians on the night. Kwan managed only 11 homers total in his first two big-league seasons, but the 26-year-old already has three in 25 games to begin 2024. He's still making plenty of contact, too, sitting third in the AL in batting average at .343, just behind Jose Altuve (.346) and Salvador Perez (.344).

Kwan went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
It's already Kwan's 10th multi-hit game of the season but his first one with four base knocks. He hasn't done a ton of running yet for a guy who has gotten on base at a .394 clip, but Kwan picked up his second steal in this one and first since March 29. The 26-year-old also already has a couple home runs after hitting only five in 718 plate appearances last season.

Kwan went 3-for-5 with a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-7 extra-innings win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan is batting .400 (14-for-35) during his active eight-game hitting streak. He continues to put the ball in play with great success, batting .372 over 17 contests this season. He's added two home runs, five RBI, 18 runs scored and a stolen base. Kwan can still chip in a bit more with speed, but he's doing everything else right from atop the Guardians' order.

Kwan went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan already has two homers through 12 contests this season -- it took him until June 3 to hit two long balls in 2023. It's too early to project a career year in power for the outfielder, but he's never hit more than six homers in a campaign, so it's a low bar to hurdle. He's also been exceptional with his contact-hitting approach so far, slashing .386/.397/.526 with five RBI, 13 runs scored and a stolen base through 58 plate appearances atop the Guardians' lineup.

Kwan lifted his average to .383 on the young season which ranks seventh in all of baseball while his 11 runs scored are tied for fourth.
