The Atlanta Braves acquired utility player Mauricio Dubón from the Houston Astros in exchange for infielder Nick Allen, the teams announced Wednesday.
Dubón, 31, hit .241/.289/.355 with seven homers and 33 RBIs over 398 plate appearances with the Astros in 2025. However, he's more known for his stellar glovework across the diamond, having won the AL utility Gold Glove twice in the last three seasons.
Dubón played every position except for pitcher and catcher this past season, and posted positive defensive numbers at each spot en route to picking up his second Gold Glove. He racked up the most time at second base, where he accrued five defensive runs saved and eight outs above average in 318 innings, and was also worth eight outs above average at shortstop.
