Steven Kwan News
Cleveland Guardians rookie outfielder Steven Kwan (foot) is back in left field and is hitting leadoff on Sunday against Houston Astros right-hander Cristian Javier. Kwan fouled a ball off his foot on Friday night and was held out of the lineup on Saturday as a precaution. The 24-year-old needs to be returned to starting fantasy lineups in single-year formats. He doesn't supply much power (only two home runs in 346 at-bats), but he's slashing .295/.367/.379 with 28 RBI, 51 runs scored and nine stolen bases in 391 plate appearances over 94 games for Cleveland. He's been hot since the All-Star break, too, going 25-for-70 (.357) with a homer, five RBI, 12 runs scored and four steals in 16 games.
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan (foot) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Houston Astros. He exited Friday's game early after fouling a pitch off his left foot. The 24-year-old is slashing .294/.367/.379 with two home runs, 28 RBI, 51 runs scored, and nine stolen bases in 94 games in 2022. Andres Gimenez will head leadoff for Saturday's game, while Will Benson handles centerfield duties with Kwan sidelined. Benson has not collected a hit in eight plate appearances since being called up from Triple-A Columbus on August 1. Fantasy managers can avoid using Benson as a streamer in most league formats.
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan (foot) left Friday's game against the Houston Astros with a left-foot contusion. Kwan fouled a ball off of his foot during the game and left for precautionary reasons. Before the injury, the rookie outfielder went 0-for-2 at the plate, ending his hit streak at 18 games. Kwan's rookie year has been solid, with the 24-year-old hitting .295 with two homers, 51 runs, 28 RBI, and nine steals over 346 at-bats. It sounds like the injury is minor but look for Cleveland to update Kwan's status after Friday's game concludes.

Cleveland Guardians rookie outfield sensation Steven Kwan was not a high-profile prospect before breaking onto the scene in 2022. He didn't make the Gaurdians' Top 30 Prospects List but proved to be a valuable source of offense once he went pro. Kwan was a runner-up for AL Rookie of the Year and composed a healthy and fruitful season. While the Guardians continue to develop his prowess, the numbers that Kwan posted in his rookie campaign cannot go overlooked. The 25-year-old fostered a .772 OPS while accumulating 52 RBI and swiping 19 bags. He doesn't have the qualities of a heavy hitter, but you get his tenacious plate discipline as a consolation prize. Kwan finished second in the majors in strikeout rate (9.4%), with Luis Arraez (7.1%) as his only competition. Kwan is now poised to take another step in his development as a player, and Steamer fully corroborates it. Kwan is given a .281/.358/.404 line with a 10.5% strikeout rate and a .762 OPS. If he can replicate the likes of his rookie season, you may consider drafting him earlier than his current 119.36 ADP.
