Eligibility
Ronald Guzman went 3-4 with five RBI in Monday's game.
Fantasy Impact
Guzman will be hard-pressed to find playing time with the Yankees this season but made a strong impression on Monday.
Ronald Guzman has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Yankees that includes an invitation to spring training.
Fantasy Impact
Guzman tore his meniscus last year playing in the outfield with the Rangers and was limited to just 17 plate appearances. In four seasons with Texas, he slashed .227/.304/.414 with 31 home runs and simply could not replicate the success he had in the minors. The Yankees will give him a look but the chances of Guzman earning a fantasy-relevant role with New York are minimal, so there's little need to consider him for fantasy purposes.
As announced Friday afternoon, Ronald Guzman will undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus, ending the 26-year-old's season.
Fantasy Impact
The injury that landed Guzman on the 10-day IL on April 12th will now force the first baseman to miss the rest of 2021. Guzman's season ends with his lone hit leaving Globe Life Field.
The Rangers placed Ronald Guzman on the 10-day IL with a meniscus cartilage tear in his right knee.
Fantasy Impact
After looking like he had perhaps turned a corner in the spring, Guzman was slashing just .063/.118/.250 this year. He's likely going to miss significant time with the injury, which he sustained during his first career start in left field. There's no reason to hold onto Guzman in any format at this point. Adolis Garcia was selected from the alternate site to take Guzman's place on the roster.
Ronald Guzman exited the Rangers' game against the Rays in the first inning on Monday with an apparent leg injury.
Fantasy Impact
Guzman got a late break on a pop fly to shallow left field and had to make an awkward maneuver to avoid colliding with shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Guzman immediately pulled up and began grabbing at his leg. Guzman had to be carted off the field, as he could not walk off under his own power. Eli White took over in LF as Guzman's replacement. We'll continue monitoring reports on Guzman's injury as they come out.
