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.

The Astros placed Dubin on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right forearm strain, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dubin last pitched Friday against the Angels and evidently got hurt during that outing. He'll be eligible to return July 6, but given the nature of the injury, it could take him longer than that.

The Astros reinstated Dubin (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Houston optioned fellow righty reliever Logan VanWey to Triple-A Sugar Land to open up a spot in the bullpen for Dubin, who had been on the shelf all season due to right shoulder inflammation. After giving up just one earned run while striking out nine over five innings during his rehab assignment with Sugar Land and Double-A Corpus Christi, Dubin looks poised to handle a middle-relief role.

Dubin (shoulder) will be available to pitch for Double-A Corpus Christi on Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dubin started the season on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation that he experienced for most of spring training. He returned to mound work Wednesday with a bullpen session after pausing his throwing program briefly due to an ankle issue, and he's now ready to embark on a rehab assignment. Dubin appeared in 31 regular-season games (two starts) for the Astros in 2024 and posted a 4.17 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 49:26 K:BB across 45.1 innings.

Dubin (ankle/shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday and will resume his rehab assignment shortly thereafter, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dubin has been dealing with a shoulder injury since spring training and hurt his ankle in the midst of a rehab assignment. He has yet to appear in a game at any level this season, so he may require several rehab appearances before being activated.
