Houston utility player Mauricio Dubón had surgery on Wednesday to fix a ligament in his left thumb.
General manager Dana Brown shared the news about the surgery to repair the ulnar collateral ligament.
The team mentioned that Dubón played despite the injury, which he got in early September. He is expected to be healthy by the time spring training begins.
The 30-year-old Dubón had a batting average of .269 with 25 doubles, four home runs, and a career-high 47 RBIs, appearing in a personal best of 137 games. He excelled in September, hitting .338 in 23 games.
Dubón played 93 games in the outfield and also participated in all four infield positions. The 2023 Gold Glove winner made history by being the first player in the franchise to start games at seven different positions in one season.
