Mauricio Dubon: is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for hitters heading into Week 17 (2023). Target Dubon as a free agent second baseman, shortstop, or outfield on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 24% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Mauricio Dubon isn't the most sexy name in fantasy, but he's done yeoman's work filling in as the leadoff hitter while Jose Altuve (oblique) remains on the injured list. Since the start of June, Dubon is batting .260 with a .415 slugging percentage and has scored 17 runs as the primary leadoff hitter for Houston.
The Astros retake the lead with a Mauricio Dubón single!

Altuve and other injured Astros will return at some point, but Dubon's defensive versatility should keep him in the lineup enough to be productive for fantasy in deeper formats. Add him for help in the runs and batting average department for now.
