Guardians' Steven Kwan: Logs two hits in loss
Rotowire
Kwan went 2-for-4 with a double in Friday's 2-0 loss to Atlanta.
Kwan was the lone Guardian to record hits in the loss. August hasn't been kind to Kwan, who is slashing .211/.237/.298 over 13 games. The second-half drop-off in 2025 is similar to what happened last year, when Kwan recorded a .206/.316/.302 slash line after the All-Star break.
Kwan went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in a 6-4 win over the Royals in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.
Kwan also went 1-for-5 with two strikeouts and a run scored in the first game of the twin bill. The light-hitting outfielder has homered three times over his last three games, and he has eight RBI over eight contests dating back to July 12. For the season, he's slashing .286/.351/.413 with nine homers, 37 RBI, 50 runs scored, 20 doubles, one triple and 11 stolen bases across 98 games as Cleveland's primary leadoff hitter.
Guardians' Steven Kwan: Has first multi-homer game
Rotowire
Kwan went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a walk during Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Orioles.
Kwan hadn't hit a home run since June 13, but he knocked out two for the first multi-homer game of his career Thursday. It was a rare display of power for the 27-year-old, who is up to just eight home runs on the year. He's much more known for his ability to get on base and limit strikeouts, which he continues to show this season with a .287/.352/.410 slash line with 38 walks and just 35 strikeouts in 376 at-bats.
Kwan went 2-for-3 with three walks and a run scored in Monday's 10-5 win over the Orioles.
Kwan missed the first three games following the All-Star break with pain in his right wrist. He was back in his normal role Monday, starting in left field and batting leadoff. He batted .138 (4-for-29) in the seven games leading up to the All-Star Game.

Guardians' Steven Kwan: Optimistic following injection
Rotowire
Kwan said Saturday that his wrist is doing much better after receiving a shot Wednesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. "I got the shot. It's been recovering well. Happy with the progression of it so far, so I'm cautiously optimistic about it," the outfielder said.
Kwan's missed Cleveland's first two games coming out of the All-Star break, but it looks like he'll avoid a stint on the injured list. "I don't think this is an IL case at all. He's feeling better each day," Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt said Saturday. Kwan took swings and went through outfield drills prior to Saturday's game. While he's been out, Nolan Jones has handled left field.
