The infielder provided a big play Tuesday, though the Angels' bullpen would give up the lead later on. Guzman is now batting .226 with a .622 OPS, eight homers, 33 RBI, 31 runs scored, nine doubles and two stolen bases over 285 plate appearances this season.

Snaps slump with three hits, including homer Guzman went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored Wednesday in a 6-4 victory over Boston.

Impact Guzman entered the contest in the midst of a rough patch that included a .145 batting average and a 34.5 percent strikeout rate over his past 19 games. The 22-year-old infielder broke out of that slump with his first multi-hit game since Aug. 13 and his first long ball since Aug. 20. Guzman has started just three times in the Angels' past seven games, so he's not an appealing fantasy asset at the moment given his lack of consistent playing time and his recent cold stretch.

Goes deep after entering off bench Guzman went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in an 18-3 rout of Houston on Thursday.

Impact Guzman began the game on the bench but entered on defense in the sixth inning after the Angels had built a 14-2 lead. He struck out in his first at-bat but then took advantage of facing a position player (Lamonte Wade Jr.) in the ninth inning by mashing a two-run homer to left field. The long ball was his first since July 31, a span of 17 games. Guzman has six home runs overall through 194 plate appearances while slashing .236/.280/.368 with 19 runs, 22 RBI and two stolen bases.

Riding pine Thursday Guzman isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Supplies three hits in win Guzman went 3-for-4 with one RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 7-0 win over the Rangers.

Impact 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.
