Drives in lone run Guzman went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Astros.
Impact The Rangers continue to plug Guzman into the daily lineup -- he's started 10 consecutive games -- but the law of diminishing returns is setting in. He had a promising start after being called up from the alternate camp, but the lefty-hitting Guzman is 2-for-22 over the last seven games, all of which came against right-handed starters.

Snaps hitless streak Guzman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Oakland. He followed up with an 0-for-3 effort in the nightcap.
Impact Guzman was part of a five-run first inning in the opening game which gave Texas all it needed to win. The homer was his third of the season and snapped a streak of 10 at-bats without a hit. After a promising start at the dish (11-for-29) since his callup, Guzman is just 1-for-16 over the last five games.

Blasts second homer of season Guzman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday in the Rangers' 4-3 loss to the Mariners.
Impact Through 10 games on the season, Guzman is slashing a blistering .346/.414/.692, but his .737 career OPS is probably a better representation of what he'll provide the rest of the way. With Danny Santana (hamstring) having been ruled out for the rest of the season, Guzman at least appears to have secured an everyday role at first base. He'll bat seventh for the Rangers in Monday's series finale for what will be his seventh start in nine games.
