Short-term gain in playing time Dubon went 1-for-2 with a walk, an RBI, two runs scored and two stolen bases Sunday against the Angels.

Impact Dubon started for the second time in the last three games at second base with Brendan Rogers (hip) sidelined. Rodgers doesn't appear to be battling a serious injury, so Dubon could return to a bench role as soon as Monday against the Cardinals.

Stuck in limited role Dubon has started only two of six games to begin the season.

Impact Dubon was in contention to be Houston's primary second baseman with Jose Altuve shifting to left field. However, Brendan Rodgers has instead served in that role, while Dubon has started only once at the keystone and once in left field. His role could change as the season progresses, but Dubon looks to be stuck in his typical utility role for the time being.

Out of lineup again Friday Dubon is not in the lineup for Friday's tilt against the Mets, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact All signs had pointed to Dubon opening the season as the Astros' starting second baseman, but he's now been on the bench in favor of Brendan Rodgers for each of the first two games. Dubon should still play plenty in a utility role, but it's clear that Rodgers is higher than him in the second base pecking order right now.

Projected starting second baseman Dubon is expected to serve as the Astros' starting second baseman to begin the 2025 season, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Astros appear serious about playing Jose Altuve in left field, leaving a void at second base. Dubon remains best positioned to take advantage of that, though he has struggled significantly in spring training by failing to pick up a hit in 12 at-bats while striking out four times. McTaggart also noted Brendan Rodgers, Luis Guillorme and Zack Short as potential depth options at second base.

Astros' Jose Altuve still expected to move to left even after Alex Bregman's exit

Jose Altuve is expected to play mostly in left field this season even though the Astros didn't acquire a clear replacement at second base.

Astros' Jose Altuve still expected to move to left even after Alex Bregman's exit

Could get regular looks at 2B Dubon is an option to start at second base if Jose Altuve plays in left field, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Astros have been coy about their plans for Altuve, though Rome notes that he has only observed Altuve in the outfield early in spring training. Given that, current signs point to him getting at least some time in left field during the regular season, with the goal of Yordan Alvarez being the full-time designated hitter. In turn, playing time will open at second base, with Dubon and Brendan Rodgers seemingly the top candidates to fill the spot. Dubon has served as a utility player for Houston across the last two seasons and would be a candidate to post double-digit homers and steals with more regular at-bats.

Gets $5 million from Houston The Astros and Dubon avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $5 million contract Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact This was Dubon's third of four arbitration-eligible years. The utility player slashed .269/.296/.361 with four homers in 137 games with the Astros in 2024. He underwent surgery to repair a torn UCL in his left thumb in October but will be ready to roll for spring training.

JANUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set to undergo thumb surgery Dubon will undergo surgery to repair a torn UCL in his left thumb, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rome reveals that Dubon suffered the injury back on Sept. 6 but elected to delay surgery until the offseason. The rehab is expected to take 6-to-8, so the utility player should be ready to go for the start of spring training. Dubon is slated for salary arbitration for a third year this offseason after slashing .269/.296/.361 with four home runs and three stolen bases over 137 contests.

OCTOBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Long starting streak ends Dubon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact Dubon will head to the bench for the first time since Sept. 10, ending a stretch of 11 consecutive starts during which he batted .316 with six RBI. Though his ability to fill in at multiple spots in the infield and outfield has allowed Dubon to gain traction in the lineup lately, he'll likely be limited to a short-side platoon role heading into the final week of the regular season.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Getting eighth straight start Dubon will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Impact Dubon doesn't have a clear path to a spot at any one position, but his versatility and hot bat will allow him to stick in the lineup for an eighth consecutive game. He's produced an impressive .382/.400/.412 battling line over 14 games so far in September, though Dubon hasn't supplemented it with many counting stats (zero home runs, zero steals, five RBI and four runs).

SEPTEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

In Wednesday's lineup Dubon (thumb) will start in left field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game versus the Athletics, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's Dubon's first start since he injured his left thumb in a game last Friday, although he did appear off the bench a couple times since then. Jake Meyers and Ben Gamel will join Dubon in the Astros' outfield.

Excluded from lineup Sunday Dubon (thumb) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Dubon remains day-to-day due to the jammed left thumb, which he sustained in Friday's 8-0 win in the series opener. According to MLB.com, manager Joe Espada said he hopes to avoid using Dubon off the bench Sunday, noting that consecutive days out of the lineup coupled with a team off day Monday should provide sufficient time for the utility player to heal up from the injury heading into Tuesday's series opener versus the Athletics. Though Dubon has taken on a near-everyday role since the beginning of August while moving between multiple positions, his playing time could become more inconsistent following the recent return of Kyle Tucker from the injured list.

Sitting Saturday Dubon (thumb) isn't in the Astros' lineup Saturday against the Diamondbacks, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dubon was taken out of Friday's game early due to a jammed left thumb, and while the injury is considered minor, the Astros will hold him out of Saturday's contest just to be safe.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers minor thumb injury Dubon jammed his left thumb in Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dubon hurt his thumb sliding into first base late in the game and was removed. He had X-rays after the contest that came back clean, and he told reporters that he will be fine. Dubon may be unavailable Saturday, but a stint on the injured list seems unlikely.

Rejoining lineup Tuesday Dubon (shoulder) is starting in left field and batting ninth Tuesday against the Phillies, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dubon sat out Monday's contest after he suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday's series finale versus Baltimore, but he's back in action after missing just one game. The 30-year-old hasn't found much success at the plate in August with a .175/.232/.222 slash line through 21 games.

Exiting lineup Monday Dubon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies after he collided with the outfield wall in the bottom of the seventh inning of Sunday's 6-3 win over the Orioles...

Impact While playing left field Sunday, Dubon was in a full sprint while tracking down Ramon Urias' deep fly before his left side made full contact with the outfield wall, sending him tumbling to the ground. Dubon secured the catch on a backhanded grab for the final out of the inning, but he remained down on the field for a few moments until he was able to walk to the dugout under his own power. The Astros then lifted Dubon for a pinch hitter in the top of the eighth inning, with the 30-year-old admitting after the contest that he got the air knocked out of him in the collision and was feeling stiff from his neck down to his shoulder, per Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle. On a positive note, Dubon said follow-up tests revealed no major concern, so the Astros are seemingly viewing him as day-to-day. Dubon will see his streak of 12 consecutive starts come to an end Monday while he gets at least one game off to heal up.
