Ronald Guzmán - Page 10 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Enters lineup Saturday Guzman started at first base and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

Impact Guzman, who lost the first base job in summer camp, made the start Saturday after Isiah Kiner-Falefa came up lame with a hamstring injury. Todd Frazier, who had started at first base in Friday's opener, moved to third base to cover for Kiner-Falefa.

Wins backup job at first base Guzman will open the season as the Rangers' backup first baseman, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

Impact Isiah Kiner-Falefa will start at third base while Todd Frazier moves over to first base, and Guzman was able to win the backup job over Greg Bird. Guzman had an underwhelming summer camp and had a .722 OPS with 10 home runs in 87 games last season.

Competing for backup job Guzman and Greg Bird are competing for the backup job at first base, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Impact The pair entered spring training in competition for the starting job, but Isiah Kiner-Falefa's impressive performance at spring and summer training earned him the starting role at third base, pushing Todd Frazier over to first base. Guzman has failed to separate himself during his first two seasons in the majors and had a .219/.308/.414 slash line with 10 homers in 295 plate appearances in 2019.

Inside track on starting gig Manager Chris Woodward said Kiner-Falefa has the "edge" in the competition for a starting corner-infield spot, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports. "He's been our best guy, honestly,"...

Impact Kiner-Falefa's impressive spring has vaulted him ahead of Greg Bird and Ronald Guzman in the battle for a spot in the Rangers' starting infield. Should the 25-year-old lock up his place in the starting lineup, Todd Frazier would shift to first base while Kiner-Falefa steps in at third.

At facility, not cleared Guzman (non-injury) is at the Rangers' facility but is not cleared to play, Sam Blum of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Rangers general manager Jon Daniels emphasized that Guzman was allowed to be at the facility and stressed there is a difference between being allowed at the field and being allowed to compete. Guzman is apparently still in the COVID-19 intake process.

Not seen in camp Guzman has not participated in workouts since summer camp opened Friday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The presumption is that Guzman has not yet completed his COVID-19 intake testing protocols, which is not an uncommon situation across all teams in MLB. The delay puts him slightly behind in the competition for first base. He and Greg Bird were the main candidates for that spot, and neither player separated himself during spring training. Since then, the Rangers have been exploring other options such as moving third baseman Todd Frazer to first or having Nick Solak practice their during summer camp.

Competition resumes Guzman and Greg Bird will resume their competition for the starting first base job in summer camp, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Impact Guzman and Bird were locked in a battle during spring training, but neither player separated himself. Guzman was 7-for-33 (.212) and Bird was 3-for-29 (.103). Additionally, it's not set in stone that the starter will be one of these two guys. The Rangers are kicking around the idea of moving Todd Frazier from third base to first, an option that became more attractive when the team saw the production Isiah Kiner-Falefa (14-for-37, .378, four HR, 11 RBI) put up in 15 games.
