Guardians All-Star left fielder Steven Kwan has been placed on the 10-day injured list with mid-back inflammation, an injury that may have contributed to the leadoff hitter’s second-half slump.

Hey, Hoynsie: I’ve noticed Steven Kwan is upper cutting the ball a lot more since the All-Star break. Is he trying to drive more balls instead of hitting the crisp line drive that had him hitting .350 for so long? – David Rich.
