Steven Kwan Optimistic About Lingering Wrist Issue, Remains Out on Sunday
Steven Kwan (wrist) received an injection for a nagging issue in his right wrist earlier this week but is "happy with the progression of it so far," according to Tim Stebbins of MLB.com. Kwan is not in the lineup for his team's game on Sunday against the Athletics, which marks his third straight game on the bench. In 404 plate appearances, the 27-year-old has slashed .285/.345/.396 with six home runs, 32 RBI, 43 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases. He remains one of the hardest hitters in MLB to punch out, posting a career-low 8.4% strikeout rate. However, Kwan struggles to generate power with a 1.8% barrel rate and 20.7% hard-hit rate. If this wrist injury continues to bother him throughout the remainder of the season, Kwan's already limited ability to impact the baseball could be even further diminished.
