His loss is a blow to the first-place Guardians. In addition to being a standout fielder in left, the two-time Gold Glove winner had been enjoying a magma-hot start at the plate. Thus far in 2024, Kwan has batted an American League-best .353 with a .407 OBP and a .496 SLG. His 47 hits led the AL coming into Sunday's slate. <br>As for Manzardo, he'll bring excellent left-handed power potential to Cleveland. Acquired from the <a class="Annotation-link" href="https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/teams/TB/tampa-bay-rays/">Rays</a> at least year's trade deadline in exchange for <a class="Annotation-link" href="/mlb/players/2507332/aaron-civale/">Aaron Civale</a>, Manzardo came into this season <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-prospect-rankings-top-50-players-entering-2024-as-jackson-holliday-earns-no-1-spot-wyatt-langford-soars/">ranked as the No. 45 overall prospect in MLB by CBS Sports</a>. Here's part of R.J. Anderson's February write-up: <br>"All Manzardo has done as a professional is hit and hit some more by combining a disciplined approach with a feel for the barrel. He lacks the top-end exit velocities (and strength) commonly associated with the first-base position. All the Guardians can do is hope that he continues to make up for it by hitting for average (something he notably did not do in Triple-A) and minding the zone. He should get an opportunity to join the Cleveland lineup sometime early in 2024."<br>This season, the 23-year-old Manzardo, a former second-rounder out of Washington State, has batted .303/.375/.642 for Triple-A Columbus with nine homers and 10 doubles in 29 games. <br>The Guardians under rookie manager <a class="Annotation-link" href="/mlb/players/1667927/stephen-vogt/">Stephen Vogt</a> entered Sunday with a record of 22-12 and a two-game lead over the <a class="Annotation-link" href="https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/teams/MIN/minnesota-twins/">Twins</a> in the AL Central. <br>© 2004-2024 CBS Interactive.
