Braves' Mauricio Dubon: Drives in three runs in win
Rotowire
Dubon went 3-for-4 with three RBI in Monday's 4-0 win over the Athletics.
Dubon drove in a pair with a single in the first inning and added a third RBI on another single in the eighth to stretch Atlanta's lead to 4-0. With Ha-Seong Kim (finger) on the injured list, Dubon has started three of the first four games of the season at shortstop and is 4-for-10 at the plate with a team-leading five RBI.

Braves' Mauricio Dubon: Drives in two in Atlanta debut
Rotowire
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
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
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
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
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.
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.

Rotowire

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.

Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Not in Friday's starting lineup
Rotowire
Dubon is not in Houston's starting lineup against Texas on Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Dubon will be on the bench for the beginning of Friday's contest while Jesus Sanchez, Taylor Trammell and Cam Smith start in the outfield from left to right. Dubon has a .503 OPS with eight runs, three doubles, one homer and five RBI in 93 plate appearances since the beginning of August.
Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Sitting for second time in four games
Rotowire
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: Slugs seventh homer
Rotowire
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: Sitting after three straight starts
Rotowire
Dubon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.
Dubon had started in each of Houston's last three games -- twice at shortstop and once at first base -- but he'll hit the bench as the Astros kick off a three-game set in Detroit. Though his versatility has allowed him to handle a near-everyday role for Houston since about mid-May once injuries began to take a toll on the roster, Dubon could see fewer opportunities over the final six weeks of the season while the Astros move closer to full strength. Houston could get a big bat back in the lineup as soon as this weekend in Yordan Alvarez (hand), whose return to action as the Astros' primary designated hitter would likely result in Jose Altuve picking up more starts at second base at Dubon's expense.
