Dubin (shoulder/ankle) rolled his ankle while on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dubin is working his way back from a shoulder injury and suffered the ankle injury while playing catch during batting practice. He received imaging Sunday, though the new injury is not expected to be serious.

Dubin (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land this weekend, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dubin threw a successful live batting practice session Monday, clearing the way for him to pitch in rehab games. The reliever missed the entirety of spring training with his shoulder issue, so he'll likely need at least a handful of rehab appearances before being activated from the 15-day injured list.

The Astros placed Dubin on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right shoulder inflammation, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dubin missed the entirety of spring training with his shoulder issue. He's been throwing for most of this month, but there's no timetable for his return.

Dubin (shoulder) will resume playing catch Saturday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dubin has been out all spring with right shoulder inflammation but is finally ready to begin a throwing progression. He will not be ready in time for Opening Day, however.

Dubin will be shut down after being diagnosed with right shoulder inflammation, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not known how long the shutdown period will last, but it would appear unlikely that Dubin will be ready in time for Opening Day. The right-handed reliever held a 4.17 ERA and 49:26 K:BB over 45.1 regular-season innings for Houston in 2024.

Dubin is headed back to Houston to undergo an MRI on his right shoulder, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dubin tried playing catch Sunday after being shut down for a while and the shoulder did not respond well. It sounds like he could be headed for a long-term absence, but more will be known once the test results are in. Dubin held a 4.17 ERA and 49:26 K:BB over 45.1 innings for Houston in 2024.

Manager Joe Espada said Saturday that Dubin reported shoulder discomfort upon reporting for spring training, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

There's no telling at the moment how severe Dubin's injury is, but the Astros will shut him down from throwing for now and see how he feels after a few days of rest. The 29-year-old righty ended the 2024 regular season with a 4.17 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over 45.1 innings and is expected to take on a middle-relief role for the Astros out of camp.

Dubin was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Dubin logged a 4.17 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 49 strikeouts, two saves and one win in 45.1 innings for the big club this year. He pitched a clean ninth inning with two strikeouts and a save Saturday, so Dubin may have been optioned simply because he wasn't going to be used Sunday.

The Astros recalled Dubin from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dubin has posted a 4.15 ERA and 45:26 K:BB over 43.1 frames with the Astros this season. The 29-year-old right-hander will give the club a fresh bullpen arm.

The Astros optioned Dubin to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dubin fired 8.1 scoreless frames and struck out nine batters after returning to the Astros' bullpen July 30. However, he will be forced back to the minors following the return of Kaleb Ort, who returned from the paternity list Saturday. If Dubin is able to keep his hot streak alive in the minors, he figures to have a good chance of returning to Houston before the end of the year.
