Angels Promote Denzer Guzman to Majors, Worth Adding in Standard Leagues?
Los Angeles Angels beat writer Jeff Fletcher reported Sunday night that the Angels are calling up infielder Denzer Guzman on Monday, as Taylor Blake Ward of Baseball America had reported. Guzman was hitting .336 with 12 HRs and a .974 OPS at AAA. Guzman is the Angels' seventh-ranked prospect in the organization and plays shortstop. In addition to the strong power and average, Guzman has also swiped nine bases, driven in 57 RBI, and scored 45 times through 268 plate appearances in Triple-A so far this season. The jump for him from last 2025 to this year has been significant, and he is worth monitoring as a waiver wire addition in deeper leagues at the middle infield position. While Guzman doesn't profile as a high-end overall MLB prospect, he is regarded fairly highly in the Angels organization. When you combine his power and speed production, if you are a team looking for a middle infielder or depth at the position, Guzman is a strong candidate to pick up; however, he is not someone you need to sprint to go get or dump a lot of FAAB on just based on his overall career profile. He should see opportunities at the hot corner with Yoan Moncada on the shelf.
