  • Steven Kwan (hamstring) heading to injured list
    Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports that the Guardians plan to place Steven Kwan (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list prior to Monday’s game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Top prospect Kyle Manzardo will be promoted from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move to replace him on the active roster. Kwan exited Saturday’s game against the Angels with tightness in his left hamstring and underwent an MRI to determine the severity of the issue. The result of that exam is not yet known, so it’s hard to speculate just how much time the 26-year-old outfielder may stand to miss. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:27 pm

  • Move to IL coming
    The Guardians are expected to place Kwan (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Monday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The 26-year-old left Saturday's 7-1 win over the Angels due to left hamstring tightness and will now be sidelined for at least the next week and a half. The results of Kwan's MRI aren't yet known, so it's unclear if he'll be ready to return from the IL when first eligible. The Guardians plan to call up top prospect Kyle Manzardo from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move, and Manzardo should be headed for an everyday role in Kwan's absence.

  • Steven Kwan undergoing MRI on left hamstring
    Steven Kwan underwent an MRI on his left hamstring.

    Advice: The Guardians are currently awaiting the results of the imaging before making a roster decision. Kwan left Saturday’s game because of tightness in the hamstring, and he’s not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s finale against the Angels. A trip to the injured list can’t be ruled out, and Zack Meisel of The Athletic suggests that Kyle Manzardo could be a roster replacement if that takes place. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:05 am

  • Jacob Young returns to starting lineup for Nats
    Jacob Young (back) is hitting leadoff Sunday against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Young sat out Saturday after leaving Friday’s game with back spasms. The Nationals called his absence precautionary, and the fact he’s back a day later is pretty good evidence of that. Young has been excellent in 2024 with a .311 average and 12 steals in 81 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:41 am
     
  • Good to go Sunday
    Young (back) will start in center field and bat leadoff Sunday against the Blue Jays, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: The 24-year-old exited Friday's contest due to back spasms and didn't start Saturday, but he'll rejoin the lineup for Sunday's series finale. Young has gone just 2-for-10 over his past four games but has a .311/.354/.378 slash line with 12 steals in 81 plate appearances on the season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:30 am
     
  • Steven Kwan out Sunday due to hamstring tightness
    Steven Kwan (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Angels.

    Advice: Kwan left Saturday with hamstring tightness, and it’s not surprising to see him out of the lineup for the series finale. With the 26-year-old out of action, the Guardians will have Will Brennan play in left field, which Estevan Florial will act as designated hitter and hit in Kwan’s leadoff spot. For now, he should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:02 am

  • Won't start Sunday
    Kwan (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Kwan is out of the lineup for just the second time all season, with his absence coming as no surprise after he was removed from Saturday's 7-1 win left hamstring tightness. The 26-year-old is slated to undergo an MRI on Sunday, but the Guardians have yet to provide an update on the findings from those tests. Until the team offers more clarity on his status, Kwan should be viewed as day-to-day heading into Cleveland's upcoming seven-game week. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:57 am

  • Bryan De La Cruz goes yard in blowout loss
    Bryan De La Cruz went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer against the Athletics on Saturday.

    Advice: De La Cruz knocked a base hit in the fourth inning, then took Dany Jiménez deep for a two-run homer in the eighth. It wouldn’t be nearly enough in Miami’s blowout loss. The 27-year-old outfielder has been one of the team’s only bright spots, hitting .262/.305/.447 with six homers and 18 RBI across 151 plate appearances. Rotoworld Saturday, 7:22 pm
     
  • Will undergo MRI on hamstring
    Kwan will undergo an MRI on his injured left hamstring Sunday, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Advice: Kwan tweaked the hamstring during Saturday's 7-1 win over the Angels while making a play in the outfield. More should be known about whether Kwan will require a stint on the injured list following the exam. Kwan is off to an excellent start this season, slashing .353/.407/.496 over 32 games.
