The Oakland A's have enhanced their infield depth by claiming Andy Ibáñez off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers. This move was confirmed on Friday. To facilitate Ibáñez's addition to the 40-man roster, the A's designated Max Schuemann for assignment. Ibáñez, a versatile player, spent the last three seasons with the Tigers, contributing in a utility capacity. In 2025, he appeared in 91 games for Detroit, primarily at third and second base, posting a .239 batting average with four home runs and 21 RBIs. He had been signed by the Dodgers as a free agent in January but was designated for assignment by Los Angeles earlier this week. Ibáñez holds a career .254 batting average with 28 home runs over five MLB seasons with the Rangers and Tigers. Schuemann, who debuted in 2024, played 234 games for the A's across two seasons. In 2025, the 28-year-old infielder batted .197 with two home runs and 13 RBIs in 101 games.
