Andy Ibáñez was designated for assignment by the Mets after being claimed off waivers from the Athletics. He appeared in only 3 games as a Met, going 0-for-6 with two sacrifice flies. Across both the Athletics and Mets in 2026, Ibáñez has taken 26 plate appearances, going 2-for-23 with 1 walk, 3 strikeouts, and 2 sac flies.
