Angels' Denzer Guzman: Swats second homer in two days
Rotowire
Guzman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in a 7-0 win against the Athletics on Saturday.
Guzman produced the only homer of the game with a 376-foot solo shot to left field in the seventh inning. The 22-year-old has gone deep in back-to-back contests after slugging 12 long balls across 58 games with Triple-A Salt Lake prior to his June 8 call-up. Guzman has been getting steady run for the big-league club, as he's started at third base in nine straight games.

Angels' Denzer Guzman: Drives in three
Rotowire
Guzman went 2-for-4 with three RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 8-0 win over the Rays.
Guzman had a two-run single in the sixth inning and added another RBI single a frame later. The 22-year-old has been given a chance to compete for playing time at third base immediately after his call-up Monday, though the hot-hitting Nick Madrigal has made it a real challenge. Guzman has gone 4-for-18 with a double, four RBI, one run scored and one steal over four games so far. Guzman likely has the better long-term upside, though third base could remain a playing-time battle well into the second half of the season as the Angels await the return of Yoan Moncada (knee).

Angels' Denzer Guzman: Officially called up by Halos
Rotowire
The Angels recalled Guzman from Triple-A Salt Lake and he will start at second base and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Astros.
The Angels needed more depth in the infield after placing both Vaughn Grissom (oblique) and Adam Frazier (elbow) on the 10-day injured list, so Guzman and Trey Mancini will both join the big club's 26-man roster. Guzman appeared in 13 major-league games for the Angels in 2025 and went 8-for-42 (.190) with two home runs and three RBI. He's been far more productive at the plate in Triple-A, where he has a .336/.403/.571 slash line with nine steals (in 13 attempts), 12 home runs and 57 RBI in 268 plate appearances.

Angels' Denzer Guzman: Sent down to Salt Lake
Rotowire
The Angels optioned Guzman to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.
Guzman had himself a nice spring, going 5-for-17 at the dish with a home run, two RBI and four runs scored through nine Cactus League contests. However, after posting a .566 OPS and striking out 22 times in 13 MLB games last year, the Angels will send him back to Triple-A to begin the 2026 campaign. The 22-year-old infielder could receive a promotion to Los Angeles midway through the season if he continues to hit well and improves his discipline at the plate.

Los Angeles also promoted infielder Christian Moore from the minors Saturday while designating infielder Scott Kingery for assignment. Outfielder Matthew Lugo was also optioned to Salt Lake in a move that helped make room on the 26-man roster for Guzman and Moore.
