2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ibanez had some good moments in 2023 for a Detroit team that needed a jolt on offense. The 30-year-old saw his most sustained run at the MLB level, batting .264 with a .745 OPS and 11 home runs across 114 games. By comparison, he came into the year with only 116 games under his belt across two seasons with Texas, and he had just eight career home runs. Ibanez's versatility helped him stay on the field, as he appeared at first, second and third base for the Tigers, as well as the corner outfield spots. Ibanez didn't walk a ton but he only struck out 18 percent of the time to go along with a solid 35% hard-hit rate. Heading into 2024, there are signs of optimism regarding the veteran's offensive game, and he figures to see a similar utility man role, which should allow him to get plenty of at-bats. If Ibanez can build on the strides he took last year, he could be primed for a solid 2024. He may not be on the radar in shallower leagues, though he could be worth keeping an eye on in deeper formats. Read Past Outlooks

Taking batting practice
Ibanez (hamstring) took batting practice at Comerica Park on Monday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
It's the first time he's taken batting practice on the field since he suffered a left hamstring strain a little over a week ago. Ibanez will head to extended spring training this weekend to continue his rehab before rejoining the Tigers early next week. It's possible he could be activated at that time, although the team has not yet made that determination.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In running for MLB roster
Ibanez is likely to be in the running for a spot on the Tigers' Opening Day roster, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press.
ANALYSIS
Ibanez was pushed off the Tigers' 40-man roster in January, a few months after they claimed him off waivers from the Rangers, but Petzold writes that the Detroit higher-ups "can't wait to evaluate" the 29-year-old infielder this spring. Ibanez did serve as the Opening Day third baseman for Texas last season before ultimately slashing just .218/.273/.277 across 128 plate appearances. If he does make the squad, it will probably be in a utility role.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2017
2015
Following a strong second half in 2021, Ibanez was an everyday player for the Rangers for the first two months of 2022, splitting time between third base and designated hitter. He was unable to keep the momentum going, posting an anemic .218/.273/.277 batting line in 40 games before being sent down to the minors for good in early June. Ibanez was claimed off waivers by the Tigers over the offseason but then outrighted off their 40-man roster. He could conceivably win a utility job with a Detroit team lacking great options, but the odds are heavily against it leading to any fantasy relevance.
