Denzer Guzman singled four times in five at-bats Wednesday versus the Mariners.

Guzman didn’t exactly crush the ball; the four hits had xBAs of .530, .530, .150 and .060 and just one was hard hit. Still, he was probably due for some good luck after hitting .169 with a 27/3 K/BB ratio in 81 plate appearances over his previous 25 games. The 22-year-old Guzman is at .230/.271/.351 overall. He probably shouldn’t be in the Angels’ plans for the beginning of 2027, unless maybe Zach Neto gets traded. Guzman’s offense would be easier to tolerate at short than at third. He does have the bat speed to take a step forward, though.
