Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan has missed the last four weeks with a left hamstring strain, but he will return and bat leadoff against the Washington Nationals on Friday.
In order to make room for Kwan on the active 26-man roster, Cleveland designated Estevan Florial for assignment.
The 26-year-old outfielder has been out since May 4. He left the Guardians' game against the Los Angeles Angels that day after one at-bat. Kwan underwent an MRI and got diagnosed with a left hamstring strain, hitting the injured list two days later. Prior to his injury, Kwan was one of the hottest hitters in the American League. Kwan was batting .353 with three home runs, 11 RBI, three stolen bases, a .903 OPS and a 1.7 WAR in 32 appearances.
It remains to be seen if Kwan can keep up that kind of production after going four weeks between major league at-bats. He made two appearances with High-A Lake County and two more with Triple-A Columbus during his minor league rehab assignment, but he hit .200 with one home run, four RBI, one stolen base and an .885 OPS.Between those two seasons, Kwan missed just 19 games total. Two months into the 2024 campaign, he has already missed 24 games.First pitch for the series opener is set for 7:10 p.
