Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan continued his strong start to the season in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles. He went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's victory. Kwan's blast in the fifth inning, which left the bat at 102.3 mph and traveled 380 feet, was his third home run of the season. He reached base three times on the night and is now slashing .333/.391/.492 with a .362 wOBA over 63 at-bats. Kwan will look to maintain his high level of production as the Guardians aim to secure a series win in Baltimore on Wednesday.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan was quite the table-setter in Thursday's 6-1 win over the division-rival Chicago White Sox at Progressive Field, going 4-for-5 with a two-run home run, two runs scored and four RBI. The home run was his second of the season, and the big day at the plate raised his season average to .356 and his OPS to a strong .931. The 27-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder now has 11 runs scored and seven RBI in his first 51 plate appearances of the 2025 campaign. Although Kwan hit a career-high 14 home runs as a first-time All-Star for the Guardians last year, he shouldn't be considered a lock to repeat double-digit home runs again in 2025. Still, he's proven to be an elite contact hitter and should provide double-digit stolen bases as long as he stays healthy.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan went 1-for-4 on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels and is now batting .353 in the 2025 season on 38 plate appearances. Although the Guardians lost two of three games to the Angels over the weekend, leadoff hitter Kwan is off to a hot start to begin his 2025 campaign. Kwan is slashing .353/.405/.471 with one home run, eight runs scored, and three RBI. Kwan has had 12 or more stolen bases over the past three seasons, so fantasy managers can expect him to steal more bases as the season progresses. Although his lack of power limits fantasy production, Kwan remains a reliable points league outfielder and helps carry a high average in category leagues. Next up for Kwan is a four-game series against the Chicago White Sox at home, where he will look to continue to lead the Guardians' offense by batting at the top of the order.

According to Mandy Bell of MLB.com, the Cleveland Guardians and outfielder Steven Kwan have agreed to a one-year contract worth $4.175 million to avoid arbitration. In 2024, Steven Kwan enjoyed the best season of his career as he posted a .292/.368/.425 line. He launched a career-best 14 home runs. He also swiped double-digit bags for the third straight campaign. This was a nice bounce-back compared to the .268/.340./.370 line he held in 2023. Last summer, he generated an impressive .284 xBA, which placed him in the 94th percentile among qualified hitters. In addition, the 27-year-old showed a great eye at the plate with a 9.4% K rate, 8.2% whiff rate, and 19.2% chase rate, which placed him within the 96th percentile among qualified hitters. Despite his lack of power, Kwan remains a top pick for batting average, given his elite contact skills.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan went 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Yankees in Game 2 of the ALCS. Kwan has now hit safely in each of the seven postseason games that the Guardians have played, slashing .448/.500/.483 over that time. Unfortunately, so far in the ALCS, it has yet to translate into wins with Cleveland now facing a 2-0 deficit as they head back home for Game 3 on Thursday. Clarke Schmidt is slated to start for the Yankees and Kwan is 4-for-8 off of the righty in his career, so look for the 27-year-old to get the home crowd into it early as they try to claw their way back in the series.

The Cleveland Guardians activated outfielder Steven Kwan (back) from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday, and he is starting in left field and batting leadoff against Cincinnati Reds right-hander Jakob Junis at Progressive Field. The Guardians have to be happy to get one of their best hitters back in the lineup at the tail end of the regular season before the playoffs kick off next week. The 27-year-old has been sidelined with inflammation in his back since the middle of September. He has hit a strong .291/.364/.419 with a .783 OPS, 13 home runs, 43 RBI and 12 stolen bases in 475 at-bats in 2024, but Kwan hasn't looked as good since the All-Star break. He is currently riding a four-game hitting streak, but he also went 6-for-36 (.167) with two RBI, nine walks and eight strikeouts in 10 games in the month of September before going on the IL.

The Cleveland Guardians placed outfielder Steven Kwan (back) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and selected the contract of outfielder Myles Straw from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move. The Guardians also designated veteran right-hander Carlos Carrasco for assignment. The Guardians were hoping to avoid putting Kwan on the IL, but they made the move after the 27-year-old missed five straight games with back discomfort. The good news is that Kwan isn't dealing with any structural damage, so the hope is that he can return at the tail end of the regular season before the playoffs begin in October. Cleveland is starting Angel Martinez, Lane Thomas and Will Brennan in the outfield from left to right against Minnesota Twins right-hander Zebby Matthews. Kwan has hit .291/.364/.419 with 13 homers and 12 steals, so he'll be missed tremendously in the batting order over the next 10 days.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's series finale against the division-rival Minnesota Twins at Progressive Field. Rookie Angel Martinez will make another start in left field and will bat leadoff against Twins right-hander Pablo Lopez. Kwan was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays and missed the entire weekend series with what was originally called general body fatigue. It later surfaced that Kwan is dealing with back soreness, although it's not expected to be serious enough to land him on the injured list. After tests came back negative, Kwan was deemed day-to-day. Fantasy managers will need to keep him out of their lineups and check back to see if he's feeling good enough to play on Tuesday. In his first 33 big-league games this year, Martinez is hitting .241 (28-for-116) with three homers, nine RBI and three steals.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan (back) was scratched from the starting lineup on Friday due to back soreness and missed the entire weekend series against the Tampa Bay Rays. The good news is Kwan's scans came back clear, and the Guardians are hopeful he will avoid a trip to the injured list. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now and check back to see if he's active for the series opener on Monday at Progressive Field against the division-rival Minnesota Twins. The 27-year-old was initially listed with general body fatigue as the reason why he sat out over the weekend. The Guardians can ill-afford to lose Kwan down the stretch as they look to close out the year with a the American League Central title. Kwan is currently in the midst of a modest four-game hitting streak in which he's gone 5-for-13 with six walks, three strikeouts and a stolen base.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan (fatigue) remains out on Sunday due to general body fatigue. The outfielder has been kept out of the starting nine all weekend due to minor fatigue. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day heading into next week. With the Guardians currently leading the AL Central, they will lean on the side of caution with their star outfielder before October. As a result, Angel Martinez will cover left field on Sunday afternoon and bat in the leadoff spot. Martinez went 0-for-3 yesterday but will continue to receive opportunities while Kwan remains out.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan (undisclosed) has been scratched ahead of Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. It sounds like Kwan is being pulled from the game due to body fatigue. This should be a minor issue that only keeps Kwan out for a day or two. In the meantime, Daniel Schneemann will play left field and bat leadoff against right-hander Zack Littell. Schneemann hasn't been much of a fantasy option with a .227 batting average and 21 RBI on the season.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan hit his 13th homer of the season in the team's 9-8 win over the Cubs on Monday. Kwan, long known as a contact hitter who does not strike out, has provided unexpected power this season. His 13 homers are more than he hit the last two full seasons combined (11 homers in 2022 and 2023 combined). With a slash line of .326/.386/.485 Kwan is having the most productive season of his career. At 26 years old, the breakout is not surprising but is still rewarding for fantasy managers who waited out an IL stint this season to see him return in a big way.

The Cleveland Guardians will give outfielder Steven Kwan a rest on Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Kwan, second in the majors with a .334 batting average, is replaced in the lineup by rookie Angel Martinez, who is batting eighth in the order. Kwan is enjoying a breakout season that has seen him hit 11 homers, 32 RBI, 64 runs scored, and nine stolen bases in 13 attempts while also sporting a .392 OBP and a .487 slugging percentage. Daily fantasy managers will need to look elsewhere for production while fantasy managers in traditional formats will adjust to not having Kwan in the lineup for a night.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan hit his 11th home run of the season in the team's 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Kwan's homer came in the seventh inning and proved to be the difference in Cleveland's win. Kwan is hitting .342 with those 11 homers and 30 RBI in 79 games. Kwan is much-improved in the power department already matching his combined homer total from the past two years combined. The power surge makes Kwan one of the most valuable fantasy performers when healthy.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan went 2-for-4 with a single and his ninth home run of the campaign on Saturday to lead the Guardians to a victory. The 26-year-old currently boats an incredible .365/.421/.542 slash line with four swiped bags, 27 RBI, and a 21:22 BB:K ratio. Since June 1, the Oregon State product has tallied a remarkable 39 total hits in 27 games. Under the hood, Kwan holds a .316 xBA, which places him in the top 98th percentile among all hitters. In addition, he holds a 5.9% whiff rate and 8.1% K rate, which are currently the best marks in the sport. Kwan should be considered the top producer in batting average going forward and could finish with a 20/20 season if he continues to showcase his power.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan continued his career-year with a 3-for-4 performance in Thursday's victory versus the Chicago White Sox. Kwan also drew a walk in the contest and hit his eighth home run of the season. Kwan entered the season as an afterthought in most drafts, but he has performed as one of the best offensive players in the game during the first-half of the 2024 season. Kwan's big performance raises his batting average to .367 on the season and he has also driven 26 runs and crossed home plate 50 times. Managers holding Kwan should continue to roster him as he has become a true difference maker with his ability to constantly rack up hits, while showing some power in the process. One of the best draft day values this season, Kwan is a must-start in all formats.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan continued his recent hot hitting in a 6-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday. Kwan went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo homer to help power the Guardians to their second consecutive win over Toronto. The 26-year-old's solo shot came off Blue Jays starter Jose Berrios in the fifth inning, giving Cleveland a 5-2 lead. Kwan's homer tied his previous career high of six, which he set back in his rookie year in 2022. Overall, Kwan is hitting .390 with 12 doubles, six homers, 45 runs, 22 RBI, and three steals across 195 at-bats for the AL Central-leading Guardians.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan went 2-for-3 with two walks, a homer, two runs, and two RBI in an 8-0 win over the Miami Marlins on Saturday. Kwan hit a two-run homer in the fifth inning to extend Cleveland's lead to 4-0, a blast that traveled 381 feet and had an exit velocity of 96.5 MPH. Despite missing almost a month of the season with a hamstring strain, the veteran leadoff hitter is having an excellent season, batting .371 with four homers, 36 runs, 14 RBI, and three steals in 151 at-bats. He remains a quality fantasy outfielder option in all leagues.

Cleveland Guardian outfielder Steven Kwan (hamstring) went 3-for-4 with three singles, one RBI, and one walk in a 7-1 victory against the Washington Nationals on Friday night after returning from the injured list. If you didn't think the red-hot Guardians couldn't get any better think again. Their pesky everyday leadoff hitter with a .365 batting average on the season has returned after nearly missing an entire month's worth of games. Although the Guardians haven't needed his bat in May with their 19-9 record and an average of five runs per game, Kwan is a welcome site atop any lineup. Kwan will not provide you much in the power and RBI department, but should continue to provide a solid batting average, OBP, and runs scored to satisfy any fantasy baseball lineup.

The Cleveland Guardians activated outfielder Steven Kwan (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Friday after he spent 23 yards on the sidelines and designated outfielder Estevan Florial in a corresponding move. Kwan, a two-time Gold Glove left fielder, will slot in immediately in his customary leadoff spot for Cleveland on Friday in the series opener against the visiting Washington Nationals and left-hander Patrick Corbin. The 26-year-old has recovered from the left-hamstring strain he suffered on May 4 and should be returned to all starting fantasy lineups immediately. Kwan was leading the American League in hits, batting average, fewest strikeouts per plate appearance and multi-hit games before getting hurt. In four minor-league rehab games at Double-A Akron and Triple-A Columbus, he had two hits (one homer) and four RBI.
