ImpactThe extent of Kwan's hamstring injury hasn't been revealed, and the Guardians could send him in for an MRI to confirm whether he's dealing with a strain. Even a Grade 1 strain would likely result in a trip to the injured list for Kwan, who has emerged as one of the early frontrunners for American League Rookie of the Year honors after slashing .341/.456/.500 through his first 57 plate appearances of the season. Ernie Clement came off the bench to replace Kwan in left field Sunday, but Oscar Mercado and Josh Naylor are more likely to be the primary beneficiaries if Kwan's injury forces him to miss time.

ImpactAfter crashing into the left-field wall late in Saturday's 5-4 loss, Kwan stayed in the game and cleared subsequent evaluations for a concussion after the contest. It's not clear if his early exit Sunday was a result of some late-arriving concussion symptoms, or if he was dealing with an unrelated illness or injury. Expect the Guardians to provide an update on the star rookie's condition after the game.

ImpactKarinchak was shut down from throwing in spring training, but Withers reports the reliever has thrown from 250 feet on flat ground without pain.
