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

EDGE Analysis

The two were originally in competition to start, but Isiah Kiner-Falefa's impressive performance at spring and summer training earned him the starting job at third base, shifting Todd Frazier over to first base. Bird joined the Rangers on a minor-league deal in February after being limited to 10 games with the Yankees in 2019 due to a foot injury.
