Out for Game 2 of twin bill Kwan is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Padres.

Impact Oscar Mercado will get the start in left field while the lefty-hitting Kwan retreats to the bench for the nightcap with southpaw MacKenzie Gore on the hill for San Diego. Kwan was in the lineup for the Guardians' 5-4 loss in Game 1, going 1-for-5 with an RBI.

Two hits in win Kwan (hamstring) went 2-for-4 in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Athletics.

Impact Kwan missed five games with right hamstring tightness, but it didn't slow him down at the plate. The rookie outfielder has enjoyed a meteoric rise to relevance this season, though the potential for regression looms. He's slashing .354/.459/.500 with seven RBI, 10 runs scored, a triple and five doubles in 15 games, but he has yet to hit his first big-league homer. Kwan's line is propped up by a 15.8 percent walk rate and a .386 BABIP -- the patience at the plate is sustainable, but the luck probably won't last all year.

Considered day-to-day Kwan (hamstring) is considered day-to-day after exiting Sunday's game against the Yankees, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

Impact Kwan's hamstring cramped up following his second at-bat Sunday, and manager Terry Francona said the outfielder's removal was "preventative." Although the Guardians are optimistic that Kwan isn't dealing with a serious injury, they'll see how he feels after the team travels to Los Angeles. If the 24-year-old misses additional time, Oscar Mercado and Josh Naylor will likely see increased at-bats.

Tweaks hamstring Sunday The Guardians announced that Kwan was removed in the third inning of Sunday's game against the Yankees due to right hamstring tightness, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports. Kwan went 0-...

Impact The 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.

Exits early Sunday Kwan was removed from Sunday's game against the Yankees in the bottom of the third inning due to an apparent injury, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports. He went 0-for-2 before he was re...

Impact After 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.

APRIL 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Clears concussion protocol Kwan passed all concussion testing and will start in left field and bat second in Sunday's game against the Yankees, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

Impact Kwan is still a bit banged up in the aftermath of Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Yankees after he ran hard into the outfield wall in the ninth inning while chasing down Isiah Kiner-Falefa's tie-breaking double. The rookie wasn't forced to exit the contest upon being evaluated by a trainer, however, and he looks as though he's still feeling well enough to play less than 24 hours later. Before hurting himself in the outfield, Kwan went 0-for-4 at the dish to snap a four-game hitting streak.
