Guardians' Steven Kwan Leaves Game With Right Wrist Inflammation

Steven Kwan, the Cleveland Guardians' All-Star left fielder, exited the game against the Dodgers due to right wrist inflammation and is considered day-to-day. Guardians manager Stephen Vogt expressed cautious optimism, stating Kwan "should be good to go" for the upcoming three-game series against the Angels, emphasizing the decision to remove him early was to avoid risking further injury. Kwan has been a key offensive contributor, ranking among the American League leaders in several categories and serving as the team's top player by WAR. Nolan Jones replaced Kwan in left field and notably contributed to the comeback win with a two-run single. With other outfielders like Lane Thomas sidelined or underperforming, Kwan's health is vital to the Guardians' lineup. The team has an off day before their next game, allowing additional rest and evaluation for Kwan's wrist injury.
