EDGE Analysis

Dubin has been on the shelf since June 24 due to a right forearm strain, but he looks like he'll soon be ready to head out on a rehab assignment. The 29-year-old righty has made 18 appearances out of the Houston bullpen this season, logging a 1.33 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB while collecting two wins and six holds over 20.1 innings.
