Denzer Guzman

22-Year-Old ShortstopSS
Los Angeles Angels
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Guzman's 2026 path became a bit clouded when the Angels acquired Vaughn Grissom during the Winter Meetings. Guzman had an espresso shot of major league time last year and struck out in 22 of his 43 plate appearances, which likely accelerated the club's plans to find a shortstop who was more big-league ready. Guzman turns 22 in February and has accelerated through the system as most Angels prospects do, and has not surprisingly struggled to make consistent contact at every level. He has a 10.1% walk rate as a minor league, but that also comes with a 25.3% strikeout rate which has worsened as he has been rushed up the organziational ladder. Simply put, he needs a lot more seasoning but the Angels are likely going to throw him into the fire this season, so just look at 2025 Christian Moore's stats and decide whether you want those on your roster.

August 13, 2026
Guzman went 3-for-4 with one RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 7-0 win over the Rangers.
Analysis
Guzman has seen his playing time slip a bit in the second half. Prior to Thursday, he had gone 21 games without a multi-hit effort, batting just .157 in that span. Guzman's slump has opened the door for Vaughn Grissom to get a look at third base more regularly, turning the position into a bit of a timeshare. On the year, Guzman is batting .241 with a .647 OPS, five home runs, 18 RBI, 17 runs scored, four doubles and two stolen bases over 50 contests.
