The Cleveland Guardians have activated left fielder Steven Kwan from the 10-day injured list. Kwan, a two-time Gold Glove winner, returns to the lineup after being sidelined with a hamstring injury. His return comes as the Guardians lead the AL Central division. Estevan Florial has been designated for assignment as part of the roster moves. The team has managed to stay competitive despite Kwan's absence, benefiting from a favorable schedule and strong situational performance.
