Mauricio Dubón Stats

Houston Astros infielder/outfielder Mauricio Dubon is getting another start in center field and is batting second in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series on Thursday against the Texas Rangers and left-hander Andrew Heaney. Dubon also got the start in center field in Game 3 on Wednesday over Chas McCormick, but he was hitting in the seven-hole for that game. The 29-year-old went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in the team's first win of the series. McCormick is back in the lineup on Thursday, but Michael Brantley will head to the bench with a lefty on the mound for Texas. Dubon has been hot this postseason, going 6-for-12 with an RBI and a run scored in five games (three starts). He is 4-for-12 with a solo home run and a strikeout against Heaney in his career.

Houston Astros infielders Yainer Diaz and Mauricio Dubon are making their first starts of the American League Division Series in Game 3 on Tuesday against the Minnesota Twins and right-hander Sonny Gray. Diaz is the designated hitter and is batting sixth, while Dubon will start in center field and hit in the seven-hole. Michael Brantley and Chas McCormick will retreat to the bench. Diaz, 25, hit a strong .282/.308/.538 with an .846 OPS, 23 home runs, 60 RBI and 51 runs scored in 355 at-bats in his first full major-league season this year, but he's been limited to one pinch-hitting appearance in his first two postseason games to this point. Dubon also had an impressive regular season (.278 average) with 10 homers and seven steals in 467 at-bats.

Houston Astros second baseman/outfielder Mauricio Dubon went 1-for-4 with a run scored on Thursday and was again hitting leadoff for the Astros. Dubon has been hitting first consistently since Jose Altuve went on the IL, and is likely to continue doing so until Altuve returns. Although the lineup context is nice, Dubon hasn't done much with the opportunity, slashing .233/.270/.283 in July with eight runs scored, eight RBI, no homers, and one steal. With Altuve going on a rehab assignment soon, Dubon's fantasy relevance is likely dwindling at this point and he can be safely dropped in almost all leagues.
