Astros give Mauricio Dubon Sunday off
The Houston Astros did not list Mauricio Dubon in their lineup for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
What It Means:
Dubon will catch a well-deserved breather on Sunday after his impressive 20-game hitting streak came to a close earlier in the week. While he has yet to hit a home run this season, his 18 runs rank second on the team behind Jeremy Pena. Rylan Bannon will fill in at second base in today's game.
Dubon has struck out just 9 times in his 118 plate appearances this season, with his 8.9% strikeout rate clocking in at fifth in the league.
