Guzman was outrighted off the Astros' 40-man roster Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. Guzman played regularly at first base in April and May, but took a back seat once Jonathan Singelton was promoted, logging just 67 at-bats over the final four months of the season. He finished with just a .188/.272/.248 batting line, and is clearly not a factor in the team's long-term plans.
