Jose Iglesias - Page 5 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Added to Opening Day roster The Padres selected Iglesias' contract from Triple-A El Paso ahead of Thursday's 7-4 win over Atlanta.

Impact Iglesias went unused off the bench in the win, but he secured his spot on the Opening Day roster after beating out Tyler Wade for a utility infield job. The 34-year-old may see occasional starts against left-handed pitching but may otherwise find consistent at-bats difficult to come by while second baseman Jake Cronenworth, third baseman Manny Machado and shortstop Xander Bogaerts are all healthy.

Makes Opening Day roster Iglesias will be a part of the Padres' Opening Day roster Thursday versus Atlanta, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Iglesias will officially make the team's initial 26-man roster after signing a minor-league deal with San Diego on March 5. The 35-year-old went 5-for-25 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and four strikeouts over 11 games with the Padres this spring. Iglesias will likely operate in a utility role with San Diego to open the season, serving as a backup option to Jake Cronenworth, Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts in the infield.

Agrees to deal with San Diego The Padres agreed to a minor-league contract with Iglesias on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact He'll be paid $3 million if in the majors, with $1 million more available in incentives. Iglesias had a mini career revival with the Mets last season, hitting .337/.381/.448 in 85 regular-season games. Iglesias is likely to win a roster spot in San Diego and figures to see a decent number of starts along the infield, allowing other regulars to see some action in the designated hitter spot.

Swipes bag in Sunday's loss Iglesias went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Reds.

Impact With Jeff McNeil (wrist) done for the year, the door is open for Iglesias to get a starting role at second base down the stretch for the Mets. The 34-year-old infielder has been remarkably productive since joining the team in late May, and he's slowed down only a little in the second half, slashing .278/.326/.329 over 86 plate appearances since the beginning of August. Iglesias offers effectively no power and only a little speed, but consistent playing time will still give him some fantasy upside in deep formats.
