Shawn Dubin To Play Catch On Saturday
Houston Astros right-hander Shawn Dubin (shoulder) will resume playing catch in camp on Saturday after battling right-shoulder inflammation. Additionally, right-hander Kaleb Ort (oblique) is progressing nicely and has been throwing off flat ground. Because Dubin hasn't pitched at all in spring training yet, he will not be ready for Opening Day in late March. However, if the 29-year-old can avoid setbacks as he begins ramping up, he should be able to return early in the 2025 regular season in a relief role for the Astros. Dubin made 31 appearances (two starts) for the Astros in 2024 in his second major-league season and had a 4.17 ERA (3.72 FIP), his first two career saves, a 1.57 WHIP, 49 strikeouts and 26 walks in 45 1/3 innings. Ort, who injured his left oblique early in camp, is also probably a long shot to be ready for Opening Day.
