Guardians' Steven Kwan: Pair of knocks in loss
Rotowire
Kwan went 2-for-4 with a walk in Thursday's 1-0 extra-inning loss to the Cubs.
Kwan tallied his 28th multi-hit game of the season, but he was caught stealing for the second time this year. The left fielder was batting a torrid .333 as of May 9, but he's cooled down quite a bit following the hot start to the campaign. Kwan is still batting a healthy .260 over his last 169 at-bats, but he has only two home runs, 11 doubles, nine RBI and 12 runs scored during this 44-game period.

Rotowire
Kwan went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 2-1 defeat to the Giants.
Kwan tallied his eighth game with at least three hits this season, snapping a brief 0-for-13 stretch over his prior four outings entering Thursday. The contact-hitting outfielder has been quiet at the dish across his last 22 contests, during which he's slashing .259/.333/.370 with two homers, three doubles and six RBI covering 93 plate appearances. Four of Kwan's three-hit attacks in 2025 have come during that period, however.
Kwan went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Mariners.
Kwan went back-to-back with Nolan Jones in the third inning. Beyond that, there wasn't much success for the Cleveland offense, as Kwan had half of the team's four hits. He has four multi-hit efforts over his last 10 games, going 11-for-36 (.306) in that span. The light-hitting outfielder is up to six homers, 23 RBI, 32 runs scored, nine stolen bases and a .308/.370/.435 slash line over 65 contests this season. He's locked in as Cleveland's regular leadoff hitter.
