The Diamondbacks signed Dubin (elbow) to a minor-league contract Dec. 19.

EDGE Analysis

Dubin made 30 appearances between the Astros and Orioles in 2025, collecting a 5.08 ERA and 28:11 K:BB over 33.2 frames. The 30-year-old finished the year on the injured list with right elbow discomfort, and it's unclear whether he will have any restrictions at the beginning of spring training.

Dubin (elbow) elected to become a free agent Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dubin cleared waivers after being removed from the Orioles' 40-man roster but has opted for free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment to the minors. The right-handed reliever ended the season on the injured list with elbow discomfort, and it's unclear what his current health situation is.

Dubin (elbow) cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dubin ended the season on the injured list with elbow discomfort. It's unclear if he's healthy, but he'll now have the chance to head to free agency, or he could stick in the organization as depth.

Baltimore placed Dubin on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Sept. 13) on Sunday due to right elbow discomfort.

EDGE Analysis

Dubin could technically return for the Orioles' final game of the regular season Sept. 28, but his season is likely over. Since being claimed by the Orioles off waivers from Houston on Aug. 26, Dubin has gotten into seven games, allowing three runs with a 7:3 K:BB over eight innings while picking up two holds. Righty pitcher Carson Ragsdale was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to take Dubin's spot on the active roster.

The Orioles claimed Dubin off waivers from the Astros on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Dubin posted a 1.33 ERA over his first 18 appearances for the Astros this season before allowing 13 runs in 5.1 August innings to lose his spot on the 40-man roster. The 29-year-old will join the Orioles' bullpen, although he has not yet officially reported to the club.

The Astros designated Dubin for assignment Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dubin has had an injury-plagued campaign, as he's dealt with separate shoulder, ankle and forearm issues at points this season. The right-hander has struggled during his time with Houston, posting a 5.61 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 21:8 K:BB over 25.2 innings. AJ Blubaugh was called up from Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move, but perhaps the more important aspect of Dubin being DFA'd is that it opens up a spot on the Astros' 40-man roster. That spot will likely go to Yordan Alvarez (hand), who is close to being activated from the 60-day IL.

The Astros reinstated Dubin (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has been sidelined nearly two months due to a forearm strain but is ready to rejoin the active roster after a five-appearance rehab assignment. Dubin had a 1.33 ERA and six holds in 18 appearances this season prior to the injury, and he should at least be in the setup mix for Houston with closer Josh Hader (shoulder) landing on the injured list.

Dubin (forearm) made his first rehab appearance Tuesday at Triple-A Sugar Land, striking out a batter while allowing an earned run on one hit over two-thirds of an inning.

EDGE Analysis

Tuesday's appearance was Dubin's first at any level since June 20, as he's been on the shelf for more than a month while recovering from a right forearm strain. He'll likely remain with Sugar Land at least through the weekend to continue his rehab assignment before Houston potentially adds him back to the big-league bullpen in the first week of August.

Dubin (forearm) completed a 27-pitch live batting practice session Friday at the Astros' facility in Florida, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

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.

Dubin (forearm) has resumed throwing from flat ground in Florida, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dubin landed on the injured list June 24 with a forearm strain but has made the first step toward a return. He'll still need to progress to throwing bullpen sessions and potentially go on a rehab assignment, setting him up for a possible return in late July or early August.
