Kwan went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan is starting to look more like himself at the plate with an eight-game hitting streak. In that span, he's gone 12-for-35 (.343) with two steals, four RBI and eight runs scored. The light-hitting outfielder is up to a .263/.340/.355 slash line with 13 thefts, two home runs, 25 RBI and 51 runs scored through 76 contests. He's weathered a slow start to the year and should continue to be an on-base machine going forward.

Kwan went 1-for-6 with a triple, three RBI and four runs scored in Sunday's 12-3 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
While Kwan didn't hit all that well, he was able to get on base in a variety of ways, and the Guardians had no trouble bringing him home. It was the first time he scored four runs in a game this season, and just the second time he's knocked in three. The outfielder is up to a .261/.339/.352 slash line with 24 RBI, 48 runs scored, two home runs and 12 stolen bases through 71 contests.

Kwan went 4-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan had collected a total of four hits over his last six contests before Saturday's strong showing. The outfielder still went a fifth straight game without an extra-base hit. He's up to a .263/.342/.349 slash line with two home runs, 21 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 44 runs scored through 70 contests as the Guardians' primary leadoff hitter.

Kwan isn't in Cleveland's lineup for Thursday's game against San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
The Padres will begin the game with southpaw Ryan Weathers on the mound, meaning the left-handed bat of Kwan will remain in the dugout Thursday. Will Brennan will shift over to cover left field, allowing Gabriel Arias to start in right and bat sixth.

Kwan went 1-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan's still struggling to make the same kind of consistent contact in 2023 as he did a year ago. He's 9-for-39 (.231) through his first nine games in June, though three of those hits have gone for extra bases. Overall, the outfielder is slashing .258/.341/.348 with two home runs, 11 steals, 20 RBI and 43 runs scored over 64 contests. Despite the flaws in his game, he remains the Guardians' leadoff hitter.

Kwan went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a 4-2 victory versus the Twins on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan put the final run on the board in the ninth inning with a solo shot to right field. The long ball was was his second of the season and eighth of his career through 205 major-league games. Any homers he produces should be seen as a bonus by his fantasy managers, as Kwan's contributions are mostly limited to using his solid on-base skills to swipe bases and score runs.

Kwan went 3-for-6 with three runs scored and one steal in Wednesday's 12-8 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan notched multiple hits for the third time over Cleveland's past four games and recorded his fourth three-hit outing of the season. The second-year outfielder is one of the best contact hitters in MLB, and his speed makes him an instant threat whenever he's on base. He's slashing .263/.345/.346 across 55 games, which is down from his superb rookie season last year, but he's still locked into the leadoff spot on a regular basis.

Kwan 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan had gone 0-for-8 over his previous two contests before his strong effort Saturday. He's hit a double in three of the last five games. For the season, the second-year outfielder is slashing .273/.360/.351 with a home run, 12 RBI, nine steals and 22 runs scored through 39 contests.

Kwan went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Kwan gave the Guardians the lead for good with his seventh-inning solo shot. It was a great time for him to knock his first homer of the season. He's hit well over the last two weeks, going 17-for-55 (.309) over his last 13 contests. The outfielder has a .267/.355/.336 slash line, 12 RBI, 16 runs scored, eight stolen bases, four doubles and a triple through 33 games this season.
