The Mets claimed Ibanez off waivers from the Athletics on Thursday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports. The A's designated Ibanez for assignment Sunday, but he'll reclaim a 40-man roster spot by moving to the Mets. He'll fill in as a depth piece in New York, though he isn't likely to see many opportunities after posting a .285 OPS in 18 plate appearances with the Athletics.

Andy Ibáñez: Breaking News
DFA'd by Athletics
The Athletics designated Ibanez for assignment Sunday. Ibanez had been seeing sparse playing time and hadn't appeared in a game since April 19. He's slashing just .118/.167/.118 with three RBI over 18 plate appearances on the campaign and will now be exposed to waivers. Ibanez's removal from the active roster made room for the A's to activate Brent Rooker (oblique) from the injured list.
Collects two RBI vs. Atlanta
Ibanez went 2-for-4 with two RBI singles and a run scored during Tuesday's 5-2 win over Atlanta. Ibanez put the Athletics on the board with an RBI single in the second inning before doing so again in the fourth. He got the start at second base for the first time this season, and his defensive versatility and success at the plate against southpaws should afford him semi-regular playing time this season.
