Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan, the American League's leading hitter, has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a hamstring strain. Kwan, who leads the AL in hits, average, and runs, exited a recent game with hamstring tightness and subsequently underwent an MRI. The results suggested a potential month-long absence from the field. In response to his injury, the Guardians are expected to promote Kyle Manzardo, their top prospect and the No. 45 ranked player in MLB, from Triple-A Columbus. Additionally, the team has made other roster adjustments, including activating LHP Sam Hentges from the IL and optioning RHP Peter Strzelecki to Columbus.
