Andy Ibáñez Stats

Andy Ibanez, designated hitter for the Detroit Tigers, had a standout outing in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the New York Mets, bashing three hits. Despite appearing in both games, Ibanez found his rhythm during the night contest, driving in two runs and scoring one in the Tigers' 8-1 victory. Overall, he has a batting average of just .214 in 14 at-bats, but his solid game on Wednesday could earn him more playing time with Detroit as the season progresses.

Texas Rangers third baseman Andy Ibanez appears to be the favorite to be the team's Opening Day third baseman, according to Rangers beat writer Kennedi Landry. The Rangers traded fellow third baseman Isiah Kiner-Falefa to the Minnesota Twins on Saturday, removing a roadblock for Ibanez. The team will also be without third baseman Josh Jung (shoulder) until at least August. Ibanez, who turns 29 in April, made his MLB debut with the team last year. Over 76 games, he hit .277/.321/.435 with seven home runs, 25 RBI and 31 runs. He displayed a good amount of power in the minors, highlighted by a 1.051 OPS at Triple-A last year, so he's someone worth watching if he can retain an everyday job.

Texas Rangers infielder Andy Ibanez has quietly put together a nice campaign during the second half of the season. On Tuesday, he went 3-for-4 with a triple and two RBI in the 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels. Ibanez was on a hot streak before injuring his hamstring last month. However, it appears he hasn't missed a beat and is hitting .418 average over his last 21 games. Ibanez is giving the Rangers front office something to think about heading into the offseason.
