CLEVELAND — Guardians leadoff hitter and left fielder Steven Kwan took batting practice for the first time since hurting his left hamstring and being placed on the injured list. Kwan was leading the AL in hitting when he was pulled from a May 4 game with tightness in his hamstring. The two-time Gold Glove winner was placed on the 15-day IL on May 6, and the team said at the time that it would be at least four weeks before he returned to the lineup. The Guardians have managed to stay atop the AL Central without Kwan, who was batting .353 with 47 hits, three homers and 11 RBIs before he got hurt.
