Andy Ibáñez struggling vs lefties. That's a big problem for Detroit Tigers
CHICAGO — Andy Ibáñez is here for one reason. The 32-year-old right-handed hitter occupies a spot on the Detroit Tigers' roster to hit left-handed pitchers, a platoon role he's held for three seasons. When a lefty starts, he's near the top of the lineup, and when a lefty reliever enters, he's typically the first pinch-hitter off the bench. Advertisement One problem: Ibáñez isn't hitting lefties anymore. "That's his job," manager A.J. Hinch said. "We need to get him going because it's a big part of how we counter the way that teams attack us." Celebrate Father's Day and the Tigers with our new book! Andy Ibanez of the Detroit Tigers hits an RBI single against the Cleveland Guardians to drive in Gleyber Torres during the fourth inning at Comerica Park in Detroit on Sunday, May 25, 2025. NEW POSITION: Tigers' Colt Keith is going to play third base. Here's what it means Since July 21, 2024, Ibáñez is hitting .200 with a .578 OPS against left-handed pitchers across 136 plate appearances. He has hit just two home runs off lefties — and three total — during the disappointing 319-day stretch. It's a steep drop from his previous production. Advertisement "Recently, it has been a struggle," Ibáñez said in Spanish, interpreted by team employee Carlos Guillén. "I haven't performed as expected. They brought me in and used me in the role that I've been told that they're going to use me, but I have not performed the way they wanted or the way I wanted." Before that slump, Ibáñez had been a reliable weapon against lefties, hitting .310 with 13 homers and an .858 OPS across his first 347 plate appearances against them in his five-year MLB career, which began in May 2021. "We believe in him," Hinch said. [ MUST LISTEN: Make "Days of Roar" your go-to Detroit Tigers podcast, available anywhere you listen to podcasts (Apple, Spotify) ] Advertisement Ibáñez showed frustration in the sixth inning Tuesday, June 3, with the Tigers trailing the White Sox by one run. When the White Sox summoned left-handed reliever Cam Booser to face left-handed hitter Kerry Carpenter, Hinch countered by pinch-hitting Ibáñez — the exact matchup he's on the roster to win. Remember, Ibáñez is supposed to be a lefty-killer. He struck out swinging, then shouted in frustration on his way back to the dugout. "Andy takes it personal," said Hinch, who pinch-hit Ibáñez for Carpenter against Booser again Thursday, June 5, resulting in another strikeout, "and he should because he loves to compete. It's not going great for him right now." Advertisement ON THE FARM: Tigers prospect Bryce Rainer suffers right shoulder injury in Low-A Lakeland Ibáñez already diagnosed the reason for the problem. It's the timing of his swing mechanics. "That's why I haven't been getting the contact that I've been looking for," Ibáñez said. "It's when I'm charging forward with my left foot. That switches the balance of my body. If that goes late, everything goes late." The next step is to fix the problem, which Ibáñez is trying to do with hitting coaches Michael Brdar, Keith Beauregard and Lance Zawadzki before games. He has been putting the ball in play and limiting strikeouts, both encouraging signs in pursuit of better results, but his contact quality needs significant improvement. Advertisement Ibáñez has one minor-league option remaining, which gives the Tigers flexibility to send him to Triple-A Toledo if they decide he needs a reset. He could eventually be replaced by Justyn-Henry Malloy, who previously hit .260 with a .773 OPS against lefties at the MLB level this season. For now, though, the Tigers are sticking with Ibáñez as their weapon against left-handed pitchers. He's handling the struggles like a professional. "Keep coming every day with a positive attitude," said Ibáñez, who played the hero in last year's wild-card series sweep of the Houston Astros, delivering a clutch pinch-hit double off left-handed reliever Josh Hader. "My thing is just to come here, work in the cages with the coaches and do my best." Advertisement Contact Evan Petzold at epetzold@ or follow him @EvanPetzold.

Leverkusen CEO addresses Xabi Alonso future amid Real Madrid links – ‘would have been happier if…'
Real Madrid's 3-0 defeat to Arsenal midweek has undoubtedly set off a domino reaction in Spanish media with several reports of departures doing the rounds suddenly. Players including Vinicius Jr, Luka Modric and Lucas Vazquez have suddenly been linked with departures after the poor showing and it is clear that the board will take drastic decision if the team fails embarrasingly in the event. Advertisement The most affected, needless to say, is Carlo Ancelotti whose future is more uncertain now than ever before. The defeat to Arsenal, however, has seen reports of his sacking and Xabi Alonso's appointment exponentially amplify. Leverkusen CEO speaks Speaking to Sky Sports earlier today, Bayer Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro acknowledged the fact that Real Madrid's poor result midweek only fuelled the rumors of Alonso's appointment and joked that he wished the situation were otherwise. 'Alonso to Madrid? I'll be honest, I would have been happier if Real Madrid had decisively defeated Arsenal and the coaching position was assured,' said Carro. Real Madrid want Alonso to replace Ancelotti. (Photo by) Elaborating on the situation of the manager, he stated that it was normal for rumours to go berserk after a poor result and thus indirectly hinted to Alonso's situation not being drastically changed by the development. Advertisement 'It is normal in football that if a club like Real Madrid loses 3-0 in the quarterfinals against Arsenal, the rumours go crazy,' he noted. 'He still has a contract with us, he feels comfortable here. First of all, we assume and we are also planning the next season with him, preparation, games, squad,' he added. Elimination from the UEFA Champions League in such embarrassing fashion would undoubtedly see Ancelotti sacked and there is little doubt that Alonso is indeed the overwhelming favourite if such a situation unfolds. At Real Madrid, however, it is clear that it is never over until it is. The dressing room strongly believe in a comeback and have spoken openly about the same throughout the week. Should they pull off a comeback and even possibly go on to win the Champions League or La Liga, the manager's future at the club may become clear once more. Needless to say, nothing can be claimed with certainty at this stage in the season.
