클리블랜드 가디언스가 신시내티 레즈와의 토요일 경기에서 스티븐 콴을 리드오프 자리에서 제외했다. 스티븐 보트 감독은 이번 시즌 콴의 타격 부진 속에 이러한 변화를 결정했다. 대니얼 슈니먼이 1번 타자로 선발 출전할 예정이다.
콴은 프로그레시브 필드에서 열리는 경기에서 6번 타자로 출전하게 되며, 이는 2022년 6월 18일 이후 처음으로 1번 타자가 아닌 타순에서 선발 출전하는 것이다. 28세인 콴은 이날 경기 전까지 42경기에 출전해 타율 0.201, 출루율 0.308, 장타율 0.258을 기록했으며, 5월 들어 OPS 0.477을 기록 중이다.
