Astros Settle Arbitration with Multiple Players

The Houston Astros have agreed to terms with six of their seven arbitration-eligible players, including standout performers like Framber Valdez and Kyle Tucker, but utility player Mauricio Dubón is headed to arbitration after failing to reach a deal. The arbitration process allows players with three or more years of Major League service time to negotiate their salaries for the upcoming season, with a panel of arbitrators stepping in if an agreement cannot be reached. Dubón, who had a breakout season for the Astros, will have his 2024 salary determined at an arbitration hearing in the coming weeks.

Astros and Dodgers' Contrasting Seasons Highlighted in Recent Matchup.

Mauricio Dubón, a utility player turned starter for the Houston Astros, has been a driving force in the team's ability to stay over .500 in the American League West. Dubón's contributions include a 20-game hitting streak in May, an OPS+ above league average, and leading the Astros in doubles and batting average. Dubón's athleticism and versatility have made a major difference in an aging infield, and his emergence is a relative godsend for a team with a battered roster.

Astros outsmart Dodgers in thrilling game.

Houston Astros' third base coach Gary Pettis made a critical decision in extra innings on Sunday, waving Mauricio Dubón home to the plate as the ball approached left fielder David Peralta, giving Houston a 6-5 lead it wouldn't relinquish against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Pettis' heads-up decision marked a relatively rare time when a base coach impacts a game's final outcome, and helped deliver one of the Astros' most important victories of the 2023 season to date.

Jose Altuve Returns to Propel Astros to Top of AL West

All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve will be reinstated from the injured list prior to tonight’s series opener against the Athletics. Altuve has not yet played in a game during the regular season after suffering a broken thumb when he was hit by a pitch during the World Baseball Classic. Altuve, 33, had a down year during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season but has since rebounded to elite levels of performance. In place of Altuve, the Astros have primarily leaned on utilityman Mauricio Dubon, who has exceeded any and all expectations since taking the reins at second base.

"Giants' Dubón clarifies criticism while Kapler defends team ahead of Astros game"

Astros utilityman Mauricio Dubón clarified his postgame comments about his former team, the San Francisco Giants, saying that he didn't mean to include his ex-teammates in his swipe. Dubón had said that the Giants "didn't treat me right over there," but he explained to the San Francisco players via group text that he had misjudged his words and it was just certain people. Dubón's issues stemmed from his playing time, which he said was more about communication. Giants manager Gabe Kapler praised Dubón's success with the Astros and said that the team had given him a lot of good opportunities.

"Replacing Jose Altuve: Astros Seek Leadoff Hitters After Thumb Injury"

The Houston Astros will have to navigate the loss of All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve due to a fractured right thumb, which could keep him out of action for eight to ten weeks. Mauricio Dubón and David Hensley are the favorites to fill in at second base, but both represent a downgrade from Altuve offensively. Hensley has a stronger case due to his ability to get on base and provide some pop, while Dubón's offensive capabilities are limited. The Astros will need to manage without Altuve's production for a couple of months, but it shouldn't derail their entire season.
