Versatile infielder Andy Ibáñez and Dodgers finalize $1.2 million, 1-year contact

Versatile infielder Andy Ibáñez and the Los Angeles Dodgers have finalized a $1.2 million, one-year contract

Nets MLB deal from Dodgers The Dodgers signed Ibanez to a one-year contract Friday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ibanez was non-tendered by the Tigers earlier in the offseason but has managed to land on his feet in Los Angeles. He's a career .280/.327/.452 hitter versus left-handed pitching and does not have minor-league options remaining, so Ibanez is a good bet to make the Dodgers' Opening Day roster and get some starts at second and/or third base against southpaws. Ibanez will remain under team control through 2028.

Free agent after being non-tendered The Tigers non-tendered Ibanez on Friday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Impact Ibanez had been projected to make around $2 million in his first year of arbitration eligibility, and the Tigers have decided against giving him that raise. The right-handed-hitting Ibanez is a career .280/.327/.452 hitter versus left-handed pitching and offers some defensive versatility, so he shouldn't have trouble landing a job elsewhere.

Reaches four times, swipes base Ibanez went 3-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact With Detroit resting several regulars with a playoff spot locked up, Ibanez picked up a start in the regular-season finale and delivered his first three-hit effort of the year. The utility player wraps up his regular season with a .239/.301/.352 slash line across 91 games, and he'll give the Tigers a versatile bench option as they enter the postseason.

Slams pinch-hit home run Appearing as a pinch hitter, Ibanez went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Royals.

Impact Ibanez gave the Tigers some breathing room in the eighth inning, when he appeared as pinch hitter for Colt Keith and promptly delivered his fourth home run of the season. The veteran utility player has settled in as a bench option for Detroit, giving the team a right-handed bat to complement the left-handed Keith, who is often lifted when southpaws come in from the bullpen. Ibanez is valuable depth for the Tigers, though his role doesn't carry much fantasy appeal at the moment.

Returns with home run Ibanez went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Ibanez was recalled from Triple-A Toledo earlier in the day, and he quickly made an impact for the Tigers. The utility player was inserted into the lineup due to his strong splits against lefties, and that decision paid off when he took Arizona starter Eduardo Rodriguez deep in the fourth inning for his third home run of the season. Ibanez will likely settle into a bench role for Detroit, which limits his fantasy upside, but he can do some damage against southpaws.

Rejoins major-league club The Tigers recalled Ibanez from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Ibanez has been at Toledo since early June but will get another chance in the big leagues after slashing .268/.376/.437 this month in the minors. The 32-year-old should see some reps for the Tigers against left-handed pitching.
