Dubon went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
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, 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.

Dubon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Dubon isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Dubon has collected a base hit in each of his last four contests, but he'll take a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's contest while Ramon Urias starts at second base.

Dubon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Dubon isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dubon's five-game hitting streak was put to an end during Friday's loss, and he'll now retreat to the bench while Jose Altuve starts at the keystone Saturday.

Dubon went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Dubon went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Dubon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though injuries in the Houston infield and outfield are beginning to mount, Dubon will get a chance to catch his breath Monday after he started in each of the team's last eight games. During that eight-game stretch, Dubon made starts at three different positions, though shortstop might end up becoming his primary home until Jeremy Pena (rib) is cleared to return from the injured list.

Dubon will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Rockies, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Dubon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Dating back to June 15, Dubon has slashed .323/.382/.806 with four home runs and three walks over a stretch of nine games, but he may not be locked into an everyday role just yet. He'll take a seat Wednesday for the second time in four games, with his absence from the lineup opening up left field for Taylor Trammell while Jose Altuve covers the keystone.
