Fantasy Impact:
Ibáñez, with a .292/.357/.445 line against lefties last year, joins McKinstry in a modest platoon until Matt Vierling (shoulder) returns. His bat shines versus southpaws, offering niche value. Fantasy managers in deep leagues can roster him for selective matchups, banking on steady contributions while Vierling heals.
