HOUSTON (AP) — Houston utility player Mauricio Dubón had surgery Wednesday to repair a ligament in his left thumb.

General manager Dana Brown made the announcement about the procedure to repair the ulnar collateral ligament.

The team said Dubón played through the injury after sustaining it in early September. He should be healthy for the start of spring training.

The 30-year-old Dubón hit .269 with 25 doubles, four homers and a career-best 47 RBIs while appearing in a career-high 137 games. He had a great September, hitting .338 in 23 games.

Dubón played 93 games at the three outfield positions also saw actions at all four infield spots. The 2023 Gold Glove winner became the first player in franchise history to start games at seven different positions in the same season.
