Shawn Dubin - Page 6 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Lands on injured list The Astros placed Dubin on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right shoulder inflammation, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dubin missed the entirety of spring training with his shoulder issue. He's been throwing for most of this month, but there's timetable for his return.

Cleared to play catch Dubin (shoulder) will resume playing catch Saturday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dubin has been out all spring with right shoulder inflammation but is finally ready to begin a throwing progression. He will not be ready in time for Opening Day, however.

Has shoulder inflammation Dubin will be shut down after being diagnosed with right shoulder inflammation, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's not known how long the shutdown period will last, but it would appear unlikely that Dubin will be ready in time for Opening Day. The right-handed reliever held a 4.17 ERA and 49:26 K:BB over 45.1 innings for Houston in 2024.

FEBRUARY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent for MRI on shoulder Dubin is headed back to Houston to undergo an MRI on his right shoulder, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dubin tried playing catch Sunday after being shut down for a while and the shoulder did not respond well. It sounds like he could be headed for a long-term absence, but more will be known once the test results are in. Dubin held a 4.17 ERA and 49:26 K:BB over 45.1 innings for Houston in 2024.

FEBRUARY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with shoulder injury Manager Joe Espada said Saturday that Dubin reported shoulder discomfort upon reporting for spring training, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact There's no telling at the moment how severe Dubin's injury is, but the Astros will shut him down from throwing for now and see how he feels after a few days of rest. The 29-year-old righty ended the 2024 regular season with a 4.17 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over 45.1 innings and is expected to take on a middle relief role for the Astros out of camp.

FEBRUARY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to minors Dubin was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday.

Impact Dubin logged a 4.17 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 49 strikeouts, two saves and one win in 45.1 innings for the big club this year. He pitched a clean ninth inning with two strikeouts and a save Saturday, so Dubin may have been optioned simply because he wasn't going to be used Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins bullpen The Astros recalled Dubin from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dubin has posted a 4.15 ERA and 45:26 K:BB over 43.1 frames with the Astros this season. The 29-year-old right-hander will give the club a fresh bullpen arm.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to minors The Astros optioned Dubin to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Dubin has fired 8.1 scoreless frames and struck out nine batters since returning to the Astros' bullpen July 30. However, he will be forced back to the minors following the return of Kaleb Ort, who returned from the paternity list Saturday. If Dubin is able to keep his hot streak alive in the minors, he figures to have a good chance of returning to Houston before the end of the year.

AUGUST 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins MLB club The Astros recalled Dubin from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact The right-hander has a 5.14 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 36:19 K:BB over 35 innings for the Astros this season, and he'll rejoin the big club for Tuesday's matchup with the Pirates. Dubin should fill a low-leverage role while up in the majors.

JULY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Heads down to minors The Astros optioned Dubin to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dubin had pitched each of the last two days, so the Astros will replace him with a fresh bullpen arm. That arm belongs to Kaleb Ort.

Heads down to minors The Astros optioned Dubin to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dubin had pitched both of the last two days, so the Astros will replace him with a fresh bullpen arm in right-hander Kaleb Ort, who was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

JULY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts back to bullpen Dubin has made his last three appearances out of the Houston bullpen, striking out three while allowing one earned run on four hits and one walk across 2.2 innings.

Impact Dubin made 3.1- and 2.2-inning starts on June 30 and July 5, respectively, but he was moved back to the bullpen after the Astros got Jake Bloss back from the injured list shortly before the All-Star break to fill out the final spot in their rotation. Though he notched a three-inning save May 16, Dubin has otherwise operated in a low-leverage role out of the bullpen this season, as he hasn't recorded any holds over his 17 relief appearances.

JULY 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Yields three runs in start Dubin did not factor into the decision in Friday's 13-12 win over Minnesota, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk over 2.2 innings. He struck out two.

Impact Dubin made his second consecutive start and failed to escape the third inning as the Twins collected five hits -- including two for extra bases -- off the Houston right-hander. The 28-year-old now owns a 5.40 ERA and 29:15 K:BB across 28.1 total innings on the season. Jake Bloss (shoulder) is scheduled for a rehab appearance at Triple-A Sugar Land this weekend and would likely step into the rotation for Dubin next week.

Starting bullpen game Friday Dubin will start Friday's game in Minnesota, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact It had been the expectation, but the Astros were holding off officially announcing it in case Dubin was needed in relief before then. The 28-year-old threw 55 pitches over 3.1 innings in a start against the Mets over the weekend, but that was his first start in either the majors or minors this season. It will be a bullpen game for Houston.

JULY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start bullpen game Dubin will start Sunday against the Mets in what's expected to be a bullpen day for the Astros, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dubin hasn't covered more than three innings in any of his appearances in the majors and minors this season, so that likely represents the upper bound of his workload as he takes the hill for what will be his second MLB career start. The Astros don't have an obvious candidate to work in bulk relief behind Dubin, but the team could call up a pitcher from Triple-A Sugar Land ahead of Sunday's contest to provide the bullpen with another fresh arm.

Nursing shoulder inflammation Dubin will be shut down from throwing for three days because of right shoulder inflammation, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Some early-spring shoulder inflammation isn't uncommon, but it won't help his bid for a bullpen spot. Dubin allowed seven runs over nine innings while striking out 11 during his brief time with the Astros last season.

Impact Dubin had been sidelined for about three weeks with the unspecified injury. The 27-year-old right-hander made three appearances for Houston earlier this season but has otherwise spent the 2023 campaign at Sugar Land, pitching to a 6.64 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over 42 innings.

AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to Triple-A injured list Triple-A Sugar Land placed Dubin on its 7-day injured list Friday with an unspecified injury.

Impact After a brief stint in Houston, Dubin returned to Triple-A on July 3 and compiled a 4.63 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 11.2 innings over four appearances with Sugar Land before landing on the IL. The severity of Dubin's injury isn't known, but it'll take him out of the mix for a potential promotion for the foreseeable future.

JULY 3, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Bound for Triple-A The Astros optioned Dubin to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact After working in relief in his first two big-league appearances, Dubin entered the rotation Sunday and took a no-decision while limiting a tough Texas offense to one run on three hits and two walks. Though Dubin acquitted himself well Sunday, the Astros opted to swap him off the 26-man active roster for right-hander Brandon Bielak, who was called up from Sugar Land in a corresponding move. If he isn't needed in relief over the next couple of days, Bielak will likely step in the rotation when the Astros next require a fifth starter Friday versus the Mariners.

JULY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes four innings in spot start Dubin allowed a run on three hits and two walks while striking out three over four innings, taking a no-decision in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.

Impact Dubin worked up to 68 pitches (39 strikes) in his first big-league start, and he did an effective job of quieting a strong offense. The run on his line came on an Adolis Garcia sacrifice fly in the first inning. It's unclear if Dubin will stick in the Astros' rotation beyond Sunday -- Framber Valdez (ankle) is questionable to pitch again before the All-Star break. If Dubin starts again, it'll likely be during a four-game home series versus the Mariners.
