Rocket City Trash Pandas News Release


MADISON, Alabama - Rocket City Trash Pandas infielder Denzer Guzman has been named the Southern League Player of the Week by Minor League Baseball for the week of July 1-6.

In a six-game split series against the Knoxville Smokies, Guzman led the league with a 1.316 OPS and seven extra-base hits, while drawing six walks and driving in six runs. His standout performance came in the Trash Pandas' 9-1 win at Toyota Field on July 2, where he went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, three RBIs, and a walk-helping snap the team's losing streak in decisive fashion.

A native of San Pedro de Macorís, Dominican Republic, Guzman has reached base safely in seven straight games while tallying seven extra-base hits over his last 11 contests. Over that span, he's posted a 1.035 OPS, climbing into the top of several Southern League offensive categories:

Doubles - T-3rd (17)

RBIs - T-6th (41)

Extra-Base Hits - T-4th (27)

Home Runs - T-9th (9)

Total Bases - T-11th (106)

Guzman becomes the first Rocket City player to earn a Southern League weekly honor in 2025, and the 13th selection all-time for the franchise, joining 10 other past Trash Pandas award winners. Last season, Tucker Flint (Aug. 12-18) and Christian Moore (Aug. 5-11) received the weekly honor.

The Trash Pandas continue their road trip tonight in Chattanooga, opening a six-game series against the Lookouts at AT&T Field. First pitch is scheduled for 6:15 p.m. CT, and the game can be seen on Bally Sports Live, MiLB.tv, and heard on Talk Radio WZZN 97.7 FM HD-2.

Rocket City returns home to Toyota Field for a three-game homestand July 18-20 against the Columbus Clingstones. The weekend will feature Tennessee Titans Night, two fireworks shows, Margaritaville Night, and a return of Lunaticos de Rocket City. Single-game tickets for Trash Pandas games start at just $8 and can be purchased at TPTix.com.
