Los Angeles Angels infield prospect Denzer Guzman was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday for his major league debut. The Angels' ninth-ranked prospect was having a solid season, which began at Double-A and continued at Triple-A in early August, slashing .247/.343/.426 in all with a .359 wOBA and 119 wRC+, but had been hitting even better as of late. The 21-year-old was 9-for-23 (.391) over his last seven games before his call-up. With 17 home runs on the season and 14 steals as well, there is some pop and speed in his game, but fantasy managers may want to take a wait-and-see approach with Guzman before adding him to rosters. The right-handed slugger started at shortstop and batted seventh in his debut on Saturday, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop prospect Denzer Guzman was promoted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, going 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts in his debut at that level. The Angels' 11th-ranked prospect had really heated up prior to his promotion, going 20-for-47 (.426) with a pair of homers and 12 RBI in 13 games before going hitless over the last three. For the season, he was slashing .242/.334/.415 with 11 home runs and eight steals in 93 games while at Double-A Rocket City. Strikeouts had been an issue in the past, coming into the year with a 27.7 percent K% in 102 games between High-A and Double-A, but the 6-foot-1 Dominican had lowered it to a palatable 23.8 percent in 2025. His defense is what could get him to the majors as soon as 2026, though, and the offensive profile doesn't yet warrant fantasy consideration.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop prospect Denzer Guzman went 3-for-4 with a double and a home run during the first game of a doubleheader against Double-A Columbus on Sunday afternoon. In the second half of the two-game slate, Guzman went 0-for-2 with a run and a walk. Over his last nine games, Guzman has been very productive in the batter's box, posting a .364/.450/.697 slash line with five doubles, two home runs, and a 6:5 K:BB. Through 83 total games with Double-A Rocket City this season, the No. 9-ranked prospect in Los Angeles according to MLB.com has held a .238/.333/.427 slash line with 22 doubles, 11 home runs, and seven stolen bases. Given his surge at the plate, Guzman could be in the mix to debut at Triple-A in the second half.
