Ibáñez to Face Lefties in Tacoma | MLB News

Seattle’s Mariners are bringing in utility infielder Andy Ibáñez on a minor league deal to bolster their weak left-handed hitting lineup. At 33, Ibáñez thrives against southpaws — a critical matchup for Seattle, who’ve struggled mightily against lefties this season. While he’s battled inconsistency and right-handed pitching, his potential to fill the gap at key positions — especially with shortstop woes — makes him a smart gamble. He’ll start in Triple-A Tacoma, where he can regain form and possibly earn a call-up if he can deliver against the very pitchers the Mariners need help beating.
