Financial terms of the accord have yet to be reported. It’s the final season of arbitration-eligibility for the versatile 31-year-old who earned $5 million in his final season with the Astros in 2025. Dubón has an opportunity to serve as the Braves’ starting shortstop to open the 2026 campaign, provided the Braves don’t bring in another option this winter to challenge him.

The versatile 31-year-old was plucked from the Astros on Wednesday in a swap for Nick Allen. While the team would be thrilled with his defense at the position, Dubón posted a troublesome .644 OPS in 398 plate appearances with the Astros during the 2025 season. It sounded like nothing more than posturing, saying that the team was comfortable with Dubón there if they’re somehow unable to upgrade the position over the remainder of the offseason. One alternative could be reuniting with Ha-Seong Kim who declined his $16 million player option at the end of the season and hit the open market.

Dubón was the utility Gold Glove winner for his work in 2025, and he’s capable of playing a multitude of positions. The 31-year-old has not been an effective offensive player for the past couple of seasons, however, and registered just a .644 OPS in 398 plate appearances with Houston last year. He’ll likely see playing time up the middle and in the outfield for Atlanta in 2026.

Dubón drew a one-out walk off of J.T. Ginn in the second inning and scored on an RBI single off the bat of Isaac Paredes. He then smacked an RBI double in the fifth inning that extended the Astros’ lead to 8-0 and scored on an RBI knock by Jose Altuve. The versatile 31-year-old also walked and scored on a ground-rule double by Carlos Correa. On the season, he’s now slashing .246/.295/.364 with seven homers, 33 RBI and three swipes in 386 plate appearances.

The versatile 30-year-old had just three home runs on the entire season entering play on Sunday, all of them coming in his last 22 plate appearances. He continued that barrage on Sunday, launching a 378-foot (99.1 mph EV) solo shot off of Kyle Hendricks to get the Astros on the board in the fifth inning. He then clobbered a go-ahead 402-foot (101.6 mph EV) two-run shot off of Hunter Strickland the next inning to give the Astros a lead they would never relinquish. On the season, he’s slashing a respectable .255/.297/.421 with five homers, 18 RBI and a pair of stolen bases in 156 plate appearances.

Dubón doubled in the second inning, then took JP Sears deep for a solo homer in the fourth. He later drew a walk and scored in the fifth, singled in the seventh, and reached for a fifth time with a walk in the eighth. The 30-year-old utility man is slashing .252/.294/.362 with two homers,, 14 RBI, and a pair of steals across 137 plate appearances.

Dubón’s shot to the wall in left-center could have been caught by Willi Castro, but it went off his glove as he attempted a jumping catch. It went as a single, but it would have been a double and Dubón’s first extra-base hit in nearly three weeks under normal circumstances. Dubón is 2-for-26 as a part-timer this month, though he’s started three straight games with Isaac Paredes hurt.
