Slump continues Ibanez started at third base and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Angels.

Impact Ibanez is batting just .050 (2-for-40) over 14 games since May 4. Texas third basemen rank last in the majors with a -0.8 WAR, so it's fair wonder when they make a change. Ibanez has started 20 of the team's 41 games at third base while also playing seven at DH, six at first base and two at second.

Impact Ibanez will give way to Charlie Culberson at third base for the series finale after starting in each of Texas' previous three games. With a .540 OPS through 45 plate appearances on the season, Ibanez likely hasn't done enough to this point to give himself significant job security.

Goes yard in win Ibanez went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 8-1 win over Oakland.

Impact Ibanez was part of a five-run uprising in the second inning, swatting his first home run of the season. Through 12 games, the righty-hitting infielder is slashing .214/.233/.333, which leaves some doubt as to whether he'll remain the season-long starter at third base. Ibanez, who showed some pop in a limited role last season, still has much to prove.
