Guillorme started at second base and went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Rockies.
The steal was Guillorme's third in 18 games since joining the Diamondbacks. Ketel Marte was given the day off, clearing the way for Guillorme to get a start. Now that Marte is back from an ankle injury and regularly playing the field, Guillorme has receded into a backup role. Tuesday's start was his first in seven contests.

Diamondbacks' Luis Guillorme: Draws back into starting nine
Rotowire
Guillorme will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Astros.
The lefty-hitting Guillorme had been on the bench in each of the last three contests while the Diamondbacks opposed left-handed starters, but he'll draw back into the starting nine Sunday versus Astros righty Justin Verlander. Despite his inclusion in the lineup, Guillorme's opportunities to play against righties will likely be more limited moving forward following Ketel Marte's return from the injured list.

Diamondbacks' Luis Guillorme: Sitting against lefty
Rotowire
Guillorme is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
Guillorme will hit the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Joc Pederson and Adrian Del Castillo as the Mets send southpaw David Peterson to the hill for the series finale. Kevin Newman will get the nod at second base Thursday, but Guillorme should be locked in the large side of a platoon at the position until Ketel Marte (ankle) is ready to return from the injured list.

Diamondbacks' Luis Guillorme: Debuts for new team
Rotowire
Guillorme started at second base and went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 10-8 win over Miami.
Guillorme made his debut for the Diamondbacks, who signed him earlier in the week in the wake of starting second baseman Ketel Marte (ankle) landing on the injured list. He's expected to serve as the backup at the keystone while Marte is sidelined, but the lefty-swinging Guillorme provides a useful complement to primary fill-in Kevin Newman.

Diamondbacks' Luis Guillorme: Signing with Arizona
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks signed Guillorme to a one-year contract Tuesday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Per Alvarez-Montes, Guillorme is already with his new team at loanDepot Park in Miami, so it appears he will be active for Tuesday's game versus the Marlins. The Diamondbacks will need to make roster moves in order to add him to their 26-man and 40-man rosters. Guillorme, who was released by the Angels over the weekend, has a paltry .218/.285/.290 slash line in 138 plate appearances between Atlanta and Los Angeles. However, he offers a steady glove and gives Arizona an option at second base while Ketel Marte (ankle) is out.

Luis Guillorme: Cut loose by Halos
Rotowire
The Angels released Guillorme on Sunday.
The 29-year-old was designated for assignment by the Angels on Friday and will now exit the organization. In 61 games between Atlanta and Los Angeles this season, Guillorme has a .218/.285/.290 slash line in 138 plate appearances.

Angels' Luis Guillorme: Exits 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Angels designated Guillorme for assignment Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Guillorme slashed .231/.302/.298 with just three RBI in 50 games for the Angels. The veteran utility player will likely clear waivers given his $1.1 million salary, but he should be able to eventually latch on with another club looking for a versatile infielder.

Angels' Luis Guillorme: Back in lineup Saturday
Rotowire
Guillorme (back) is in the lineup at second base, batting ninth Saturday versus the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Guillorme will return to the lineup after missing the team's last two contests with back tightness. The 29-year-old has gone just 1-for-16 with two walks, two strikeouts and a stolen base during the month of July.

Angels' Luis Guillorme: Scratched with sore back
Rotowire
Guillorme was scratched from the Angels lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners due to back tightness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Guillorme had been in line to make just his third start in the last seven games, but the back injury thwarted those plans. With Guillorme hitting the bench due to the back issue, Brandon Drury will shift over from the keystone to man third base in Guillorme's stead, while Keston Hiura enters the starting nine at second base.

Angels' Luis Guillorme: Returns to utility role
Rotowire
Guillorme will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.
Though he's in the lineup for the Angels' final game before the All-Star break, Guillorme's brief run as a regular in the Anaheim lineup following Luis Rengifo's (wrist) placement on the injured list July 5 seems to have come to an end. Anthony Rendon -- who is resting Sunday -- came off the IL on Monday, and he had started in each of the last six games. Guillorme, meanwhile, started just twice during that six-game stretch.

Angels' Luis Guillorme: Draws second straight start
Rotowire
Guillorme will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Guillorme has now started at third base in consecutive games, with the Angels facing right-handed pitchers in both of those contests. The right-handed-hitting Miguel Sano occupied the hot corner for the previous two matchups -- both against lefties -- so while Luis Rengifo (wrist) is on the injured list, Angels could be opting for a platoon at third base featuring the lefty-hitting Guillorme as the strong-side option.

Guillorme is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Giants, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Even with right-hander Spencer Howard on the mound for San Francisco, the lefty-hitting Guillorme will begin the game in the dugout. Michael Stefanic will start at second base and bat ninth.

Angels' Luis Guillorme: Sitting Wednesday
Rotowire
Guillorme is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
After he was acquired from Atlanta on May 9, Guillorme picked up starts in five of his first seven games with the Angels. He seems to have since moved into a utility role with Luis Rengifo returning from the injured list and taking on everyday duties at third base and with prospect Kyren Paris getting called up from Triple-A Salt Lake to serve as the team's main option at second base. Paris is hitting just .111 since his promotion, so it may not be long before the Angels pull the plug on the rookie and give Guillorme more playing time at the keystone.

Angels' Luis Guillorme: In Thursday's lineup
Rotowire
Guillorme will hit eighth and play second base Thursday against the Royals.
The Angels acquired Guillorme Thursday and he'll immediately be set for his debut with the team. With Brandon Drury (hamstring) landing on the injured list, Guillorme could be in line for regular playing time in the short term.

Angels' Luis Guillorme: Dealt to Halos
Rotowire
The Angels acquired Guillorme from Atlanta on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations or a player to be named later, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
After joining Atlanta on a one-year, $1.1 million deal in January, Guillorme had received limited usage through the first month and a half of the season, logging just 21 plate appearances while seeing action in 10 of the team's 34 games. The infielder should be in store for more playing time with the Angels, who currently have three infielders on the injured list (Anthony Rendon, Miguel Sano and Michael Stefanic) and another two who are day-to-day (Brandon Drury and Luis Rengifo). A glove-first player with a career 93 wRC+ and just five home runs and four stolen bases over 345 MLB games, Guillorme won't make for an especially appealing fantasy option even if he falls into regular at-bats in Anaheim.

Guillorme is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Texas.
The 29-year-old started the past two games at second base after Ozzie Albies (toe) was placed on the injured list, but the lefty-hitting Guillorme will sit Friday as southpaw Andrew Heaney pitches for the Rangers. David Fletcher will take over at the keystone and bat ninth.

Braves' Luis Guillorme: Starting for Albies
Rotowire
Guillorme will start at second base and bat eighth Tuesday against the Astros.
The 29-year-old saw his first plate appearances of the season Monday, going 1-for-3 with two strikeouts, and he's now poised for more playing time after Ozzie Albies (toe) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Guillorme could fill the large side of a platoon at second base along with David Fletcher, who replaced Albies on the major-league roster.
