• Braves' Mauricio Dubon: Drives in two in Atlanta debut

  Rotowire Mar 28, 2026

  Dubon went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Friday's win over the Royals. Batting seventh in his Atlanta debut, Dubon supplied the last offense in a 6-0 win with a two-run double in the seventh inning off Bailey Falter. The 31-year-old should be an everyday player at shortstop until Ha-Seong Kim (finger) gets healthy, but Dubon's defensive versatility should make him a fairly regular part of manager Walt Weiss' lineups even after he shifts to the bench. How much offense his supplies in that role is a different question, however. Over the last three season in a super-utility role for the Astros, Dubon slashed .264/.299/.378 while averaging seven homers and 4.3 steals a year.

• Braves' Mauricio Dubon: Ready for Opening Day

  Rotowire Mar 24, 2026

  Dubon went 1-for-3 in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates. Getting the start at shortstop and batting ninth, Dubon slapped a single to right field to lead off the third inning. The veteran utility player has looked comfortable during his first spring in an Atlanta uniform, slashing .302/.348/.465 over 16 Grapefruit League games with four doubles, a homer and a steal, and he'll begin the year as the starting shortstop while Ha-Seong Kim completes his recovery from January surgery to repair a torn tendon in his finger.

• Braves' Mauricio Dubon: Beginning 2025 at shortstop

  Rotowire Feb 18, 2026

  Dubon will start at shortstop for Atlanta while Ha-Seong Kim recovers from finger surgery, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. Acquired from Houston in the offseason to be the team's primary utility player, Dubon will instead see a near-everyday role out of the gate with Kim potentially sidelined into May. Dubon averaged 439.3 plate appearances for the Astros over the prior three seasons, slashing a modest .264/.299/.378 with little power or speed but seeing action at every spot on the diamond except pitcher and catcher.

• Braves' Mauricio Dubon: Avoids arbitration

  Rotowire Nov 21, 2025

  Atlanta and Dubon avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Friday. Jon Heyman of the New York Post says the deal is worth $6.1 million. Dubon was acquired via trade from the Astros earlier this week and is tentatively slated to open 2026 as Atlanta's starting shortstop. However, further roster additions could push the 31-year-old to a utility role.

• Braves' Mauricio Dubon: Traded to Atlanta

  Rotowire Nov 19, 2025

  The Astros traded Dubon to Atlanta on Wednesday in exchange for Nick Allen, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. Dubon slashed .241/.289/.355 with seven homers, 33 RBI and 43 runs scored across 398 plate appearances in 2025. While he may not be the most formidable threat at the plate, Dubon offers elite defensive versatility. He could see most of his action at shortstop if Atlanta doesn't make any significant offseason acquisitions.

• Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Back on bench Monday

  Rotowire Sep 15, 2025

  Dubon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers. Dubon had started in three of the last four games and five of the past seven contests, but he'll likely be in line for a reduction in playing time over the final two weeks of the regular season now that Houston has most of its key position players available. He filled in for a banged-up Jose Altuve (foot) at the keystone in Sunday's 8-3 loss to Atlanta, but Altuve will be back in the lineup Monday.

• Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Idle Wednesday

  Rotowire Sep 10, 2025

  Dubon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays. Dubon picked up starts at second base and in left field in the Astros' previous two contests, but he'll hit the bench Wednesday while Houston goes with Ramon Urias and Yordan Alvarez at those respective positions. So far in September, Dubon has gone 4-for-16 with a double, two walks, two RBI and one run in seven games.

• Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Sitting for second time in four games

  Rotowire Sep 3, 2025

  Dubon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees. Dubon will hit the bench for the second time in four games and could be transitioning back into more of a part-time role after he had been a near-everyday player for Houston since about mid-May. The last two of his starts have come in center field, but Jake Meyers (calf) will likely see the bulk of the opportunities at that position once he returns from the injured list, perhaps as soon as this weekend.

• Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Exiting lineup Sunday

  Rotowire Aug 31, 2025

  Dubon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels. The versatile Dubon will hit the bench after starting 11 straight games across three different positions. His last two starts came in center field, where he could end up seeing the bulk of his playing time until Jake Meyers (calf) is ready to return from the injured list.

• Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Slugs seventh homer

  Rotowire Aug 21, 2025

  Dubon went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Tigers. Dubon has started five of the last six games and showcased his versatility, playing first base, second base, shortstop and left field. He hadn't produced much offensively prior to Wednesday's home run during that stretch, going only 2-for-11 with an RBI and a run scored. Dubon changed his fortunes with a two-run blast in the fourth inning, his seventh of the season.

• Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Exiting starting nine Monday

  Rotowire Aug 4, 2025

  Dubon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Dubon has been a near-everyday player for Houston since about mid-May, but he could fade into more of a part-time role after the Astros got Jeremy Pena back from the injured list Friday and acquired Jesus Sanchez, Ramon Urias and Carlos Correa on Thursday. The 31-year-old utility player will head to the bench Monday for the second time in three days.

• Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Hitting well out of All-Star break

  Rotowire Jul 24, 2025

  Dubon went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk Wednesday against the Diamondbacks. Dubon delivered an RBI single in the eighth inning and now has a hit in five of six games since the All-Star break. That hasn't come with much production in counting stats -- he has only one RBI and one run scored in that span -- but he is getting consistent playing time at either shortstop or third base.

• Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Clubs solo shot

  Rotowire Jul 13, 2025

  Dubon went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Rangers. Dubon saw a nine-game hitting streak end Friday, but he responded in a big way with a seventh-inning homer Saturday. That blast ended his power drought at 15 games, during which he hit .260 with five doubles and one RBI. Dubon is getting a chance to play regularly at shortstop while Jeremy Pena (ribs) remains out, though Zack Short is also in the mix at that position. Second base is unlikely to be available to Dubon while top prospect Brice Matthews is up with the big club. In a utility role this year, Dubon is slashing .259/.297/.421 with six homers, 20 RBI, 26 runs scored, 14 doubles and two stolen bases over 211 plate appearances.

• Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Getting fifth straight start

  Rotowire Jul 3, 2025

  Dubon will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Rockies, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. Dubon will cover shortstop for Houston for the fifth consecutive game and looks primed to serve as the Astros' primary option at the position until Jeremy Pena (rib) is ready to return from the injured list. The 30-year-old possesses strong contact skills and is striking out at a career-low 8.4 percent rate this season, but he doesn't hit the ball hard or for much power, which is reflected in his .247 batting average (.253 xBA) and his five home runs in 178 plate appearances.

• Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Goes yard twice

  Rotowire Jun 23, 2025

  Dubon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a two-run home run during Sunday's 8-7 win over the Angels. Dubon notched his third and fourth home runs in his last five games, bringing his season total up to five long balls. The performance marked Dubon's second-career multi-homer game, with his first coming back in 2023. On the year, Dubon is slashing .255/.297/.421 with 19 runs scored and 18 RBI over 156 plate appearances.

• Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Homers in three-hit game

  Rotowire Jun 18, 2025

  Dubon went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, two walks and three total runs scored in Tuesday's 13-3 win over the Athletics. Dubon was in the lineup for the fifth game in a row, though he's started at three different positions (second base, third base and left field) in that span. Nonetheless, it looks like Dubon will be the primary beneficiary of Jacob Melton (ankle) being sidelined for four weeks after suffering an ankle sprain Friday. Melton's promotion at the start of June had pushed Dubon into more of a reserve role. For the season, Dubon is at a .252/.294/.362 slash line with two homers, 14 RBI, 15 runs scored, eight doubles and two stolen bases across 137 plate appearances. There should be room for him in the lineup as long as his bat is hot.
