Niko Goodrum Stats

The Houston Astros activated infielder/outfielder Mauricio Dubon on Sunday. He will be filling the roster spot of infielder Niko Goodrum, who was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land. Dubon was traded to the Astros from the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. He gives the team a great deal of versatility in the field as he has played second and third base as well as shortstop and outfield in the majors. Over 21 games with the Giants this year, the 27-year-old slashed .239/.245/.391 with two home runs, eight RBI and 10 runs.

The Houston Astros signed free-agent infielder Niko Goodrum on Saturday to a $2.1 million deal plus incentives. Goodrum will most likely serve as a utility infielder for the Astros after he slashed .232/.306/.401 with 42 home runs, 151 RBI and 45 stolen bases for the Detroit Tigers in a four-year span from 2018-21. In 2021, he had a .214/.292/.359 slash line to go with nine home runs, 33 RBI and 14 stolen bases in 325 plate appearances over 90 games played. The 30-year-old will certainly be worth picking up off the waiver wire in deeper leagues if an injury in Houston thrusts him into regular playing time, mainly for his speed on the basepaths.

Detroit Tigers utility man Niko Goodrum is now a free agent. The versatile Goodrum was placed on waivers by the club, and elected to hit the open market rather than accept a minor-league assignment. Goodrum has been relevant for fantasy managers on a sporadic basis over the past three seasons, mostly for his multiple positional eligibility and ability to steal a base. In 2021, he slashed .214/.292/.359 with nine home runs and 14 steals in 90 games and 290 at-bats. He does not appear likely to receive regular playing time in 2022 regardless of where he catches on, making him undraftable for fantasy managers come spring.
