Fantasy Impact
Dubin will provide the Houston bullpen with a fresh arm. He has made nine appearances in the majors so far this season.
The Astros optioned Shawn Dubin to Triple-A Sugar Land.
Fantasy Impact
Dubin threw three innings in relief on Thursday. He should be called back up to the majors later in the season.
Shawn Dubin notched his first save, allowing one earned run and striking out two over three innings in Thursday's 8-1 victory over the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
This outing was a mixed bag for Dubin, who managed to keep his walks down but still allowed a run and a couple of hits over an extended relief appearance. Despite securing the save, his season-long stats, including a bloated 6.59 ERA and 1.61 WHIP, suggest that consistency remains a significant issue. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his high ERA and WHIP are red flags, although his decent strikeout rate and low walk numbers from this game offer a glimmer of potential upside. His role in long relief situations might continue given his production today, but he remains a risky play in most fantasy formats.
