The Guardians placed Kwan on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with mid-back inflammation. Kwan had missed five consecutive starts due to the back issue, and though the Guardians had initially labeled him as day-to-day, the club ultimately determined that he would require more down time. and now his absence will be even longer than anticipated. Cleveland selected Myles Straw's contract from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move to bolster their outfield depth, but Angel Martinez is expected to serve as the primary replacement for Kwan atop the batting order and in left field.

Kwan was out of the lineup for all three of the Guardians' games against Tampa Bay over the weekend due to back soreness, but medical tests revealed no structural damage and the outfielder is likely to avoid a stint on the injured list, MLB.com reports. Kwan played all nine innings of Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Rays in the series opener, then was scratched from the lineup Friday before sitting out Saturday and Sunday. The Guardians initially attributed Kwan being scratched Friday due to general body fatigue, but back soreness has since been identified as the cause of his absence. The team appears to be viewing Kwan as day-to-day heading into its four-game series with the Twins that begins Monday.
