Ibanez started at first base and went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 13-6 loss to the Athletics.
Ibanez made his first start at first base, taking over for Nate Lowe against a left-hander. The Rangers are in full-on evaluation mode, so Ibanez could see regular at-bats in the short-term, which could turn into the long-term if he hits. Ibanez belted a three-run home run Monday, the first day of his callup. Prior to Tuesday, he had played third base and second base.
