Houston Astros infielder/outfielder Mauricio Dubon is expected to be ready by spring training following surgery on his left thumb on Wednesday.
The team announced that Dubon had a procedure to repair the thumb’s ulnar collateral ligament, an injury that he played through after getting hurt in early September.
Dubon, 30, hit .269 with 25 doubles and 47 RBIs in a career-high 137 games in 2024. He was 2-for-5 in the Astros’ two-game sweep by the Detroit Tigers in the American League wild-card series.
He also became the first player in Astros history this season to start games at seven different defensive positions — everywhere except catcher and pitcher.
